I'm kind of worried about whether it's okay to get a tetanus shot every month just to be safe. Could you let me know if that's alright or if there's something I should be concerned about?

I just ate some food and then found a dead lizard in the vegetable compartment of my fridge. I'm a bit worried about what to do now. Is there anything specific I should be doing to make sure everything's okay? Would this have any health implications? Any advice would really help.

Immediately discard the contaminated food and thoroughly clean and disinfect the fridge, especially the vegetable compartment, with soap and warm water to prevent the risk of salmonella or other bacterial infections; also, wash your hands thoroughly and monitor your health for any symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach cramps, and seek medical attention if you experience any adverse reactions.
