I pricked my finger with my grandmothers used lancet. Used 20 days ago. After the prick it looked a lil rusted. I am worried if I should get a tetanus injection. I washed it with dettol immediately though.

If your grandmother is not hiv positive or hepatitis b/c positive you don't need to worry. If you had a tetanus toxoid injection during past 5 years you don't need a dose. What you need to work upon is your weight because you are very obese.
