The time it takes for tetanus to become fatal can vary widely depending on the individual and the severity of the infection. Symptoms typically appear 7 to 10 days after exposure, but they can develop as quickly as a few days or as long as several weeks. Without treatment, tetanus can lead to death within a few weeks due to complications such as respiratory failure. However, with prompt medical intervention, including antitoxins and supportive care, many patients can survive.

tetanus can kill, so it's important not to get tetanus.
If you have not been immunized with a tetanus shot it is possible for the tetanus you may obtain from having skin punctured with a rusty metal object to kill you
no.. when you get a vaccine it gives you a little bit of the bacteria from the disease so your body builds an immunity to it. So no, the tetanus vaccine DOES NOT kill tetanus organisms, but deposits tetanus into your body! sounds crazy right?
It depends on the snake.

7-10 years I am a nurse at a doctor's office and we give lots of tetanus shots!
Generally it takes a few weeks to see antibodies from immunization.
}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
