I just cleaned my bathroom using acid and accidentally inhaled some of the fumes. I'm a bit worried now and wondering if that could harm my health in any way. Could this be something serious or should I just wait it out?

Inhaling fumes from strong acids can irritate your respiratory system and may cause symptoms like coughing, difficulty breathing, or throat irritation. If you continue to experience symptoms or feel unwell, its important to seek medical attention promptly. Ensure you ventilate the area well and avoid prolonged exposure to fumes in the future.

I had a small accident and Im worried about tetanus. Is it super important to get the tetanus injection within 25 hours of the injury? What could happen if its a bit later, like after 24 hours?

Administering the tetanus injection within 24-48 hours after an injury is recommended, but it's not a hard and fast rule; if you receive the injection after 24 hours, it's still beneficial in preventing tetanus infection, although the risk of infection increases if the wound is dirty or contaminated, so it's essential to clean and dress the wound properly

A goat just rammed into my leg really hard, and now it's bleeding. It's pretty painful, so I'm wondering what I should do. Should I get some kind of injection or are there specific meds I need to take?

I'm sorry to hear about your injury. Clean the wound with mild soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and cover it with a sterile bandage. If the bleeding continues or if the goat wasn't vaccinated, its important to get a tetanus shot and possibly consult a doctor for further treatment.
