You get Tetanus, your foot turns black and needs to be amputated.

Stepping on or drawing blood with something metal and rusty can give you blood poisoning. Google tetnus treatment for information.
If you get blood poisoning you will see a red line going up your leg. With out a Tetnus shot and they do need to be renewed every 10 years. With out the shot you will get lock jaw. I am not sure if they have a treatment once it reaches that stage.
It used to be death. But they may have a treatment now.
Ideally you will go directly to a walk in clinic or an emergency room for a Tetinus shot.

There is a possibilty of infection by a tetanus organism if you are around animal feces particularly.

You can get lockjaw and tetenus. I've heard it's very painful
