Tetanus is caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani.
It is a type of anaerobic bacteria (bacteria that thrives in environments without much oxygen) that can often be found in rust.
Examples are rusty nails, barbed wire, etc.. Often, if you are cut by a rusty nail or other sharp object, it is possible for tetanus bacteria (if they exist on the object) to get into your bloodstream, infecting, and releasing the neurotoxin that causes tetanus.
Getting a tetanus booster is often the best way to treat this.
Yes they should be able to help you, but check out other debt cnioolidatson companies as well for differences of opinion on your situation.Usually cnioolidatson involves putting all your debts together into just one centralised credit on which you enter into new repayment agreement. This is often easier to deal with because instead of being pulled in different directions by a multitude of creditors and receiving endless letters of demand, you only have the single centralised debt to deal with. For many people in debt, this is probably the best route to take in order to ensure an improvement in your credit score. It will also assist you in getting better financing in the nearest future.Check out the website below for more information and advice.
I was bitten by a mole a couple of days ago and went to see my doctor today. She recommended a tetanus shot, so I had one.
You need to wash the affected area immediately with soap and water, then you need to make certain that your tetanus shot is current. If not you should cover the wound with a clean dry piece of gauze and seek medical attention for a tetanus booster shot to protect you.
in wave summation muscular fibers recieve second stimulus after a refractory period and before fiber relaxes while in tetanus the fiber receives 20-30 stimuli per second and it relax partialy.
No you would not. As it is a pet mouse there would be no chance of any infection if bought in pet shop etc. If the mouse was once wild there may be a chance of infection. Just make sure to clean the wound.
If you mean from a scrape by some scrap metal, then yes, you should probably get a Tetanus shot.
A booster shot is given to a person who has previously been vaccinated against a disease, such as mumps. The booster shot increases the person's resistance to the disease by reintroducing an inert version of the disease to the body.
On the safety team where I currently work, our definition of a recordable injury is 3 part-when a person requires a perscription, a Dr.'s exam AND loss of time for an accident that occured at work. Not sure of the logic there but, it is what it is. My last place of employment considered a recordable injury as one that involved loss of time from work ONLY, such as going home or to an Emergency room. But, in both cases, a Tetanus shot is cosidered preventative medicine and was not only encouraged but, at one place even administered AT WORK.
The scientific name of the bacteria causing tetanus is known as Clostridium tetani.
Tetanus is the medical term for the condition commonly known as lockjaw.
You certainly can Inject the tetanus at home. The problem is logistical, getting the diphtheria tetanus serum—it’s a prescription—and a 3-cc syringe and 1 ½ inch 21-gauge needle, not readily available. It is important to be in a sterile area. I advise wearing a tank top, especially a racer bank bcs the tetanus has to go into the deltoid muscle—that’s the bulgy part of your arm—and you don’t want to fuss with a sleeve. Carefully remove the syringe and needle from the sterile packages. Slip the sheath cover off the needle—try not to freak iut at how long th needle is. Tetanus has to go deep in the deltoid muscle, and most of us have plenty of muscle up by the shoulder. Fit the needle to the syringe positively. Take the vial of tetanus and slip the needle into the vial, then drew serum up to the 1cc mark on the syringe. Expel half of it to remove any bubbles. Pull the needle out of the vial and place the vial on a shelf or desk. Since tetanus shots hurt, give it in the opposite arm, like right-handed in left deltoid. It’s best to let the arm hang down by your side and relax the muscle! That position might be a little clumsy, so I usually place my left hand on my hip---the muscle’s a bit tight in this position, but it’s really easy to get at the muscle Dab the arm skin with the cotton and alcohol generously and place the cotton on a clean surface. With your left hand, grab your deltoid muscle up high by the shoulder and make a good-sized bulge. Raise your right hand with syringe and needle about 2 inches above your arm and point the needle at a 90-degree angle at your muscle up high, about two fingers down from the top of your shoulder. This is so the needle sticks straight down at the grain of the muscle and does not go in at an uncomfortable angle. Now for the hard part! The needle has to stick into the muscle kind of fast, not really a jab, but with a thrust. It’s quite normal not to want to do this. You’ll be thinking about how the needle’s going to hurt and make your muscle ache up high by your shoulder. Take a few deep breaths, then bring your hand down quickly. You’ll feel a sharp stick as the needle sticks in the muscle—you won’t even feel the skin prick, it happens so fast. Usually the needle sticks in about ½ inch into the muscle, then stops bcs you feel the sharp stick and a kind of muscly feeling of the needle in the muscle. Here’s where you must overcome your fear of pain and push the needle down firmly—it might take a few thrusts before the needle starts sticking into the muscle again. It’ll feel REALLY crampy and muscly. Be sure to stick the needle ALL the way into the deltoid. Then place your thumb on top of the syringe piston and push down slow and easy, you don’t want to bruise your muscle! Watch to make sure all the tetanus disappears from the syringe and into your muscle. Your arm will feel tense and muscle achy up high by the shoulder. Leave the needle in an extra few seconds, while you press the cotton and alcohol swab over where the needle is sticking in the muscle. Pull the needle out slowly, placing the cotton over the injection site, cuz there’s going to be a little drop of blood. Remove the needle, press down firmly on the cotton. WOW! Done! You’re a super star! I would suggest that it’s faster and easier for a doctor or nurse to give you your tetanus, bcs they don’t feel the pain, they just stick the needle into the muscle and push the tetanus into the muscle, takes about 5 seconds.
