Williamsburg-area citizen and civil war reenactor Armen Civrez told reporters this Tuesday that he could really, really use a tetanus shot.
Sources confirmed that the Walgreens manager and soldier the 127th Confederate Infantry is currently in dire need of modernized medical attention after accidentally stepping on a rusty nail during a reenactment of the First Battle of Bull Run.
While the disease is easily preventable with a $30.00 vaccination that has been available since 1924, the code of conduct for keeping absolute time period accuracy has prevented Civrez from receiving the necessary health care.
“Sure, it’s tempting to throw all my hard work away for medical safety,” said Civrez shortly before his jaw locked, “But when I joined this company I made a pledge not to break time period for any reason, including my own well being!”
At press time, the Infantry surgeon had started Civrez on a leaching treatment and prescribed him era-accurate mercury pills to cure the disease.
