Tetnis is a diseaese that people get after a series of things happen. Getting a dog bite or stepping on a rusty nail makes you more likely to get tetnis. I one of the sort of things happen to you, go and get a tetnis shot immediately. When someone has tetnis, their body goes into shock and tends to have violent seisures. Tetnis is definitely a life taking disease. The only way to be sure that you wont get it is to get a tetnis shot.

Why do vaccination produce active immunity?

vaccinations dont always work. they can actually kill people. vaccinations contain dead cells which causes your white blood cells to attack and try to build up an immunity to whatever vaccine you got. but most of the time the cells arent actually dead and your body wont know how to react. so do some reserch before getting your next flu shot, or whatever shot your getting. the only shots i trust are the tetnis shots.


How do you feel a nail stab you?

I am pretty sure you will not have any difficulties feeling this sort of pain. If you cannot feel this pain, I recommend seeing a doctor. It will/should bleed and you may want to go to the hospital, especially if you are not up to date with your tetnis shot. Actually, that's not necessarily true. I remember getting a nail half an inch into my foot once when I sat down to play Playstation, and I didn't even know it was there until I saw it (after which I freaked out). Sometimes the nastiest injuries aren't accompanied by pain.


How long before you get a tetnis shot?

The Tetanus vaccine is given to babies as part of a three part series called DTaP. This shot includes the vaccine for diptheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis. After the three part series, the Tdap shot should be given every ten years as a booster. This shot again includes tetanus, diptheria and acellular pertussis, but contains smaller amounts of the last two. If you do not get the ten year boosters you should definitely get a tetanus shot if you have a severe rug burn, are cut by any type of metal (including, but not limited to: staples, nails, gates, etc.) or get soil in a wound.
