Best Answer

You get an infection depending on the seize of the nail and the amount of poison or rustiness. You will get an infection if its left for too long and then the infected part will swollen up. When the poison reaches other parts of you're body they will be effected as well, like I said if the infection is small don't make a big deal about it. Wait for a week and check on the spot daily, if it starts t change or swill up then you should get it checked out. It's also necessary to take the shot sometimes so keep that in mind.
