Oh honey, let me break it down for you. Tetanus is caused by a bacteria that releases a toxin which affects the nervous system, leading to muscle stiffness and spasms. If left untreated, these spasms can interfere with breathing and ultimately cause respiratory failure, which can be fatal. So yeah, tetanus ain't no joke - make sure you keep those vaccinations up to date, darling.

}In the rare cases where a person does develop tetanus, recovery is possible. When the infection is diagnosed and treated early, the recovery period usually takes at least 4 to 6 weeks. People who are infected with tetanus and develop the disease are treated in a hospital, usually in an intensive care unit (ICU). They receive large doses of antibiotics to kill the tetanus bacteria and tetanus antitoxin (a medicine that neutralizes the toxin produced by the bacteria). Other medicines may be needed to control muscle spasms
Is tetanus infectious or non infectious?
Tetanus is non-infectious; it is caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, which is typically found in soil, dust, and animal feces. The bacteria enter the body through wounds or cuts, but they do not spread from person to person. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent tetanus infection.
How does the tetanus attack and spread?
Tetanus attacks in open wounds, such as a fresh cut. When soil, saliva, or even feces gets into contact with it, Clostridium tetani attacks the body. Also, Tetanus can occur when rusty nails puncture the skin. Tetanus occurs in the Central Nervous System(brain and spinal cord).
