Tetanus is caused by tetanus bacteria entering the blood circulation of the human body, reproducing in an anaerobic environment, and then producing exotoxins, stimulating the nervous system of the human body to cause a series of clinical manifestations, the main manifestations are paroxysmal muscle spasms and persistent convulsions. Tetanus bacteria are generally found in soil and rust. Therefore, we should inject tetanus shots into wounds contaminated by soil and rust to prevent tetanus. Most of the relatively clean, non-contaminated wounds, as long as it is regular disinfection treatment, generally will not get tetanus, so the probability of people getting tetanus is not too high.
