My partner took a big breath of deodorant spray by mistake, and now we're both kind of worried about it. Are there any risks we should keep on our radar? Does she need to see a doctor right away, or could it be something that'll just pass?

Deodorants are not to be sprayed inside the nose. .I don't know why anyone would do that. May be you smell a lot. Anyways, there is no real risk here. If she has any symptoms, take her to a doctor near you.

I accidentally cut my finger on a sharp, rusty piece of iron today. I got a tetanus shot about two years ago, so I'm wondering if I need another one now. The bleeding was minimal and has stopped, but should I be worried about it?
Since you received a tetanus shot 2 years ago, you're likely still protected, but to be safe, consider consulting a doctor, as they may recommend a booster shot if the wound is deep, dirty, or shows signs of infection, and in your case, since the object was rusted, it's essential to monitor the wound for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or increased pain.

I got a small bite from a street dog last evening. The wound doesn't seem too serious, but I'm a bit worried about rabies. Is it okay to wait a couple of days to get the rabies shots, or should I get them immediately? I'm not sure how urgent it is.
