The Tetanus Threat: Symptoms, Injury Prevention, and Treatment Insights

Tetanus is a serious bacterial infection caused by Clostridium tetani, commonly found in soil, dust, and manure. This infection enters the body through cuts, puncture wounds, or burns and leads to severe muscle stiffness, commonly starting with lockjaw (trismus). If left untreated, it can result in respiratory failure, seizures, or death.

Key tetanus symptoms include neck stiffness, difficulty swallowing, high fever, and painful muscle spasms. In severe cases, mechanical ventilation may be needed. Tetanus is not contagious, but it is highly preventable through vaccination.
