hi i don’t think it was rust poisoning but more like this severe tetanus -induced (tetanic) muscle spasms can interfere with your breathing causing periods in which you can 't breathe at all. respiratory failure is the most common cause of death. lack of oxygen may also induce cardiac arrest and death. this was from the mayo clinic. sepsis is a common and potentially life-threatening condition triggered by an infection. in sepsis the body’s immune system goes into overdrive setting off a series of reactions including widespread inflammation swelling and blood clotting. this can lead to a significant decrease in blood pressure which can mean the blood supply to vital organs such as the brain heart and kidneys is reduced. if not treated quickly sepsis can eventually lead to multiple organ failure and death. each year in the uk it is estimated that more than 100 000 people are admitted to hospital with sepsis and around 37 000 people will die as a result of the condition. this was from the uk’s nhs at this link. <link> just copy into google to the www. to open and read. so as you can see there not related. do hope this helps you. good luck
can stepping on a rusty nail cause death? . my grandfather stepped on a rusty nail many years ago and died from "rust poisoning" is that the same as sepsis?
