    If you ingest something it GOES into your blood stream so I'd say MOST DEFINITELY!

    No, because stomach acid which is pretty much the same as hydrochloric acid would kill tetanus. If your talking cooking on a rusty grill the heat would kill anything bad anyway and if its so rusty that rust is flaking off into the food avoid cooking on it. You only need a tetanus shot every 10 years and that's only bad thing that happens with rust in the blood stream. One might say you get healthy dose of iron by cooking on rust might give you a stomach ache...
