Got a deep cut that has bleeding alot, if wound doesn't seem to be infected is there still a risk of sepsis?

    I’m not a physician, however in my experience if you’re cut looks just fine you shouldn’t have to worry about it. If you’re concerned about it, I would see a doctor.

     If it was from a metal object, you need to make sure you have your tetanus shot in the last 10 years.
