Tetanus is the medical term for the viral infection people call lockjaw. It is the same one that you get a tetanus shot to help prevent.
Mortality rate of tetanus is 48% - 73%.
The tetnus bacteria is in their manure so they are exposed much of the time. It is essential that the horse is kept current on his vaccinations. Manure must be cleaned daily and put in a place away from the horse.
Around 12 or 13 you need it to protect you from a bacteria for rusted metal that will eventually kill you and when you get it it will be around 6 th grade because you can't move in to 7 th grade until you get the shot
I was givin mine in my arm, but they asked me if I wanted it in my leg.
Tetnus
A possum bite is not usually considered dangerous. There teeth are sharp and will break the skin, it is probably best to let a doctor look at it to be sure you do not need a rabies or tetnus shot though.
get vacinated for rabies and tetnus right away
