All nails not made of galvanized metals or aluminum rust because the wet nails become oxidized then rust forms. Painted nails cannot escape the rusting processes if the paint does not get into every nook and cranny of the nail. Some paint has so much water in its formula the paint itself will rust as the water and air combine. Here is an experiment for you. Drop a nail into a completely filled jar of water then screw down the jar lid. Take another jar and put the nail into it with only half filled and leave the lid off. Which one rusts faster? Construction crews will put caulking around exposed nails to prevent the water and air from rusting the nails.

Why is tetanus popularly associated with injuries from rusty nails?

Tetanus is commonly associated with rusty nails because these nails can be found in environments where the bacteria Clostridium tetani thrive, such as soil and dust. The bacterium enters the body through wounds, particularly deep punctures, which are often caused by nails. While rust itself doesn't cause tetanus, the anaerobic conditions in deep puncture wounds can promote bacterial growth, making injuries from rusty nails a common concern for tetanus infection. Additionally, the misconception persists due to the prevalence of rusty nails in everyday scenarios.
