When people have tetanus why cant they open their mouth?
Morenowbstr
tetanus has the tenancy to cause lock jaw if left untreated i.e un-innoculated persons etc. lock jaw is where the muscles around the jaw tence up and cause a closed mouth i.e lock jaw effect and the person will need to go to the doctors/hospital and have there jaw injected with a muscle relaxant and "pry" the jaw open again, if lock jaw is not treated immediately then cracked/smashed teeth can be a result of to much down and upward pressure on the teeth. very nasty, cheers

Can you get tetanus from swimming in a pool with rust spots if you have a cut or open wound?
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.
