Ah right, and that’s why people think it’s related to rust. Because most people getting a puncture would probably got it by standing on a nail, which was out in the elements and thus rusty…
My doc once explained that nails, or anything that causes a puncture wound, are worse than a cut because they compress tissue within the wound, creating places where there is no exposure to oxygen.

Plus the rust is caused by iron removing ambient oxygen, giving anaerobic bacteria a safe place to hide
Thanks, I was just wondering how it can survive outside the body before infection if being outside the body kills it.

Yeah I’d believe that
