Tetanus can result from stepping on a rusty nail. It is a bacterial infection--not a disease-- that attacks the nervous system. It causes painful muscle contractions and can kill if untreated.It is said that stepping on a rusty nail will cause tetanus or lockjaw. But it isn't the rust that causes the disease, it is the bacteria that is found on the nail (or splinter or even an insect bite).Anything that has a tiny bit of dirt on it can carry the obligate anaerobic bacterium Clostridium tetani. This microbe doesn't like oxygen and a deep poke with a nail will produce an environment that it will thrive in. It produces a neurotoxin that causes muscles to contact all together with enough to break bones.
