I bet OP ignores "lead paint" signs

I'd also be willing to bet that OP would also ignore a sign that read "WARNING: INSTANT DEATH AHEAD"

But what's the point of a button if it's never meant to be pressed?

22, fair point there. But perhaps it's like the proverbial Big Red Button that launches nukes -- you never, ever touch it except in the absolute direst of circumstances.

Having the tetanus vaccine won't stop OP from getting ringworm, as ringworm is a fungus and can only be treated with specific anti-fungal creams and occasionally antibiotics.

Yeah, ringworm doesn't have a shot. They will give you a tetanus shot for a cat bite because puncture wound, though. Which is still a little dumb. The only other vaccine that might protect you against a kitten is rabies.

I've always been told what you really have watch out for with cats is general infection. Their mouths have so much bacteria it can be like getting bit by a fluffy Komodo dragon.

It's not so much the amount of bacteria they have, but the nature of the wounds. With a dog bite, you'll typically get a lot more open tissue damage, but cat bites are more like puncture wounds, and bacteria gets trapped in even after the external bit heals over, so they usually require antibiotics.

The kitten probably wont since he was specifically told not to get close to it, at least when something similar happened at the local shelter here a few years back the dog wasn't euthanized.
