Tell your parent's. I would go see a doctor ASAP. It is possible to get tetanus if tetanus bacteria was on it. You can't get tetanus from rust alone I think.. but you can if it came into contact cutting up an animal with tetanus, or the animal's feces.

TELL YOUR PARENTS! DO NOT INTERNET SEARCH AND ASK FOR ADVICE OVER THE INTERNET!

You can swallow snake venom and live with no effect. Accidentally swallowing rust is no problem either. This is because there is no way it will reach your blood stream it will reach your stomach and be dealt with. No worries

Rust is small quantities is not poisonous. As a one off you should be ok, I think you'd have to eat much more. The below link says a pound of it is worrisome. Call poison control if your still worried.

Your probably having a panic attack, hence the symptoms.

People cook and eat with rusty iron cookware all the time- ingested rust is not the same as being cut with a rusty item.

Rust is iron. Its not poisoness. It may only be harmful if it gets into a wound, because it may contain tetanos. But if you are prescribed iron pills by the doctor, you also swallow (expensive) rust.

call poison control and go to a hospital, you may need some shots.

You're going to die.

Eventually. But not from that.

You should be okay but might go to the ER or call the poison
center for advice on what to do.

So you swallowed some Iron Oxide redox. Contact poison control. You will probably be fine.
