As far as I can find it is positively recommended that if a pregnant woman is not protected she should have tetanus toxoid in the second or third trimester, as the large open wound in the uterus and the umbilical cord of the baby are open pathways for tetanus to enter the body.
Tdap is recommended for pregnant women caring for babies under 12 months, health care workers who work with children, or whose community is experiencing an outbreak. Women outside these categories can get the Tdap immediately after delivering, or during pregnancy, after discussion with her health care provider.
If you have only used cocaine once or twice then there is only a low risk of your baby getting infected. However there is a slight risk.
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.
venomous snakes (such as cobras)- yes constrictors (such as pythons)- no, as these aren't venomous, although you might risk getting tetanus. see a doctor if any kind of snake bites you.

Tetanus isn't even found in rust, it's an archaebacteria that lives in soil. Tetanus can't survive in water. The only way you can get tetanus is to expose an open wound to contaminated soil. The only reason people associate rust with tetanus is that if you cut yourself with something rusty and get dirt on it you run the risk of catching tetanus. So, in conclusion, it is perfectly safe for you to go swimming.
No...a tetanus shot will not prevent rabies. Tetanus is a bacterial infection spread by manure and soil entering a cut. Rabies is a virus. It is spread by blood or saliva from an infected animal. There are rabies prevention vaccines for people if you work in a high risk environment.
Tetanus cannot be transferred via mouth to blood, due to the fact that tetanus cannot grow inside of the mouth because of the saliva. If one has tetanus, it cannot be transferred to another via mouth. The only possible danger is if your blood comes in contact with theirs in which case you might want to be checked, although chances of gaining tetanus from another person are slim to none and if you are updated on your tetanus shots, then there's nothing to worry about.
Get a new one. They are only good for 10 years and usually the only side effect is a very sore arm. You can get tetanus even from a good jab with a needle, so don't risk it.
Rust is rust! Get it checked by a doc. When was your last tetanus shot?
It's usually OK to receive an extra booster of the tetanus vaccine. This is especially true if you're being treated for an acute injury, such as a deep cut or puncture wound, and you can't recall exactly when you had your last tetanus shot.Vaccination is the best way to prevent tetanus - a serious disease caused by a bacterial toxin that affects the nervous system. Tetanus bacterial spores can enter your body through any cut or scratch. But deep puncture wounds, such as from stepping on a nail, are most susceptible to tetanus infection.An adult who's never been immunized against tetanus should complete the initial tetanus series of three tetanus shots. The first two shots are given at least four weeks apart, and the third shot is given six to 12 months after the second shot. After the initial tetanus series, booster shots are recommended every 10 years. Although getting tetanus shots more frequently generally isn't harmful, it may increase the risk of soreness or redness at the injection site.
No. Babies would not know how to play the game, and risk getting themselves in trouble. The game is specialized towards children.
Inject into the ruff of the neck Tetanus is very rare in dogs who have been shown to be resistant to the toxin. There is a potential risk in the vaccine itself, which makes this vaccine rarely given to dogs. See you veterinary surgeon first.
