tetanus can kill, so it's important not to get tetanus.
If you have not been immunized with a tetanus shot it is possible for the tetanus you may obtain from having skin punctured with a rusty metal object to kill you
no.. when you get a vaccine it gives you a little bit of the bacteria from the disease so your body builds an immunity to it. So no, the tetanus vaccine DOES NOT kill tetanus organisms, but deposits tetanus into your body! sounds crazy right?
7-10 years I am a nurse at a doctor's office and we give lots of tetanus shots!
It depends on the severity of the condition..

The time it takes for tetanus to become fatal can vary widely depending on the individual and the severity of the infection. Symptoms typically appear 7 to 10 days after exposure, but they can develop as quickly as a few days or as long as several weeks. Without treatment, tetanus can lead to death within a few weeks due to complications such as respiratory failure. However, with prompt medical intervention, including antitoxins and supportive care, many patients can survive.
Tetanus can be treated once symptoms appear, but it may become a medical emergency. It is better to have a vaccination before beginning any work that could increase the risk of tetanus. Tetanus vaccinations provide years, even a lifetime of immunity.
You could get tetanus if, you have stuck the pushpin in something before. If it is brand new you probably put it in if your ears are pierced. Hope it worked!
The effect of anti-tetanus serum (ATS) typically lasts for about 2 to 3 weeks. It provides passive immunity by supplying pre-formed antibodies against the tetanus toxin, which helps to neutralize the toxin in case of exposure. However, for long-term protection, vaccination with tetanus toxoid is recommended, as it stimulates the body to produce its own antibodies.
it helps fight diseases and helps prevent, fight and cure infections from a cut or graze or knee. Tetanus is an immunisation injection against the disease lockjaw (Tetanus). It works by purposefully infecting the recipient with dead cells of the Tetanus virus. This teaches the antibodies in the blood to recognise the virus and attack it. Once the antibodies have seen the virus they make a far more concerted effort to overwhelm and kill it off before it becomes a medical risk to the patient. The Tetanus virus works very quickly and would soon kill an un-immunised person, therefore as a safety precaution a booster is used to refresh the memory of the antibodies from time to time and make them much more aggressive toward the pathogen.
