Does the small wound that wood sticks need to hit tetanus

If the patient is injured by wood, then in this case, it is generally recommended that the patient only carry out local debridement treatment of the wound, and suture treatment can be performed if necessary. For the necessary conditions for tetanus infection, the patient will generally be scratched by rusty iron or stabbed by nails. Moreover, after the patient was stabbed, the opening of the wound was smaller and the wound was deeper. Therefore, the environment in which Clostridium tetani grew generally belonged to an anaerobic environment. That is to say, in an oxygen-free environment, Clostridium tetani would further grow and reproduce, and after a certain amount, it would cause the possibility of tetanus attack in the patient. Then if there are no above two conditions, the patient's probability of tetanus infection will be greatly reduced. For the symptoms caused by tetanus, consider that the patient will first show hardness and spasm of masticatory muscles, generally unable to open his mouth, mostly due to the exotoxin secreted by Clostridium tetanus, causing muscle spasm of the patient. Therefore, the patient should continue to observe within 10 days after injury. If the patient shows the above symptoms about 1 to 7 days after injury, It is recommended to seek timely medical treatment in the infection department of a regular medical institution for further treatment.
