My advise would be to always seek medical attention for a situation such as this.

The hottest water you can stand. It is very painful the hot water will help. I would see a doctor to make sure the area doesn't become infected.

Death no, but a side affect may be massive gonadal shrinkage lol

But seriously, when was your last tetanus shot?
