A fishhook is a curved, sharp tool placed on a lure or line to catch fish. Some fishhooks have a barb near the tip that keeps the fish on the hook. You can also use a barbless fishhook. It may reduce the chance of a fishhook injury.</p><p fingerprint="b571dee3" fingerprint-exact="fab3a35b">Fishhook injuries often occur when you remove a slippery, flopping fish from your line. Injury may also occur when you cast a line, when another person casts a line, or if you walk barefoot near fishing gear. The chance of a fishhook injury rises if you aren't familiar with fishing gear.</p><p fingerprint="0a11a6c4" fingerprint-exact="92febfb6">Most fishhook injuries puncture the skin of the face, scalp, fingers, back, or ears. Remove a fishhook that isn't too deep. It's important to clean the puncture wound well to help prevent infection.</p><p fingerprint="844808d4" fingerprint-exact="ea8d4fd5">A fishhook can cause other problems if it enters the eye, muscles, tendons, ligaments, or bones.

Wounds may include a bite, a cut, a puncture, a burn, a scrape, insect bites, or any injury that may cause broken skin. Tetanus can also happen with other infections, like dental infections. It can happen during a surgery or pregnancy and delivery.</p><p>A wound can be so small, you may not notice you have one. Or a skin blister could break and become an open wound. If there is any delay in finding or cleaning a wound, there is an increased risk for skin infection and a chance for tetanus to get in the wound. A tetanus infection can start 3 to 21 days after the bacteria enter the wound. Be especially careful about wounds on your fingers and toes.</p><p>Many people may not know when they got their last tetanus shot.
