You will get sick?

There are several possibilities. Maybe nothing will happen. Maybe the puncture will become infected...watch for reddening around the wound for a few days. If it becomes infected, see a doctor. Tetanus infection is a possibility, but in the case of a thumb tack that was fairly clean, it is unlikely. If the wound develops an infection, the doctor will test for tetanus and, if found, will treat it. If the thumb tack was out-of-doors, or in a dirty environment like a garage or barn, see a doctor without delay.
