Tetanus

Since you didn't tell us what "Method B" was, we can't really answer the question, can we?

1.) Get a Tetnus shot

2.) If you stepped on it, get your leg amputated

Not sure if it's normal, but I just had at tetanus shot yesterday morning, now it's the following evening and my jaw muscles and even neck and shoulders are a little sore.

Shot in the dark here and not sure if this is true; and I'm not a Dr. by any means, but my only thought is that when they give you a vaccine, I think they are essentially giving you a small dose of the disease so your body can build up immunity to it. I know tetanus symptoms include muscle spasms, soreness and "lock jaw." It might be that we're feeling a small dose of the symptoms of tetanus.

I could be way off base here, but my pain is pretty tolerable for the most part rightnow. So I'm going to give it a few more days and see if it gets better. If it gets worse, I'll go back to the Doctor who gave me the shot.

First dose to be taken in forth month. Second after one month and third in nineth month of pregnancy. This is applicable to first pregnancy. If next pregnancy is within five years of first pregnancy, you need to take single dose any time between three months onward.

The development of a tetanus vaccine can be attributed to Emil von Behring, who, in the late 19th century, discovered that the toxin produced by the tetanus bacterium could be neutralized by serum from immunized animals. This led to the creation of the first tetanus antitoxin, which was used for prevention and treatment. While there isn't a "cure" for tetanus once contracted, vaccination remains the most effective method for preventing the disease.

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine or the tetanus vaccine directly affects menstrual cycles. Vaccines can cause temporary side effects, such as mild fever or fatigue, but these typically do not impact menstrual regularity. If you experience significant changes to your period after vaccination, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

A pencil stab can potentially lead to tetanus if the wound becomes contaminated with the tetanus bacteria, which are commonly found in soil, dust, and animal feces. Tetanus is more likely to occur from deep puncture wounds than from superficial cuts. If the person is not up to date on their tetanus vaccinations, especially if it has been more than 10 years since their last booster, they should seek medical attention. It's always advisable to consult a healthcare professional for any puncture wounds.

In the context of tetanus toxoid, "adsorbed" refers to the process of attaching the toxoid to a carrier substance, usually an aluminum salt. This enhances the immune response when the toxoid is administered as a vaccine, as it helps stabilize the toxoid and improve its effectiveness. The adsorbed form prompts a stronger and longer-lasting immune response, making the vaccine more effective in preventing tetanus.

For hepatitis A, a booster is generally not required after the initial vaccination series, as immunity is long-lasting. Tetanus boosters are recommended every 10 years, but if there's a serious wound, a booster may be given if it's been more than 5 years since the last dose. For typhoid, a booster is recommended every 2 years for those who received the oral vaccine or every 5 years for the injectable vaccine, especially for those at ongoing risk. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.

its called vaccination. Its like a kind of prevention.

Tetanus vaccine is an inactivated toxin (poison) called a toxoid. It is produced by growing the bacteria in a liquid medium and then purifying and inactivating the toxin. Not being a live vaccine a person's immunity declines with time, which is why booster doses are recommended.

No, and it never was. The tetanus vaccine only contains human immunoglobulin. There is something called tetanus anti-toxin that can be produced in horses or sheep. If you have a puncture wound and have never been immunized or it has been over 10 years since your last booster shot, your doctor may give you a shot of this antitoxin. It's like giving antivenom for a snakebite. This anti-toxin shot is NOT the same as the tetanus vaccine. It doesn't last long in your system, so it does not confer tetanus immunity.

You may be having an allergic reaction to one of the vaccinations. Contact your doctor.

Anything can be toxic if you take enough of it.

For tetanus shots it would be very difficult barring a crazy person intentionally injecting huge amounts.

An adult who has never been immunized to tetanus should get the initial series of three tetanus shots. A booster should be administered every ten years afterwards. A booster may be given after an acute injury (i.e. puncture by rusty nail) if you are not sure when your last booster shot was.

By contamination of an infected wound such as if feces get in the wound or the wound is caused by something rusty

Even to day, some one comes and ask for ATS injection. Anti tetanus serum injection is very dangerous to give. The patient may get the anaphylactic reaction. This preparation is no longer used. Any serum preparation is dangerous. You need to be protected by anti tetanus injection. With proper wound care the anti tetanus serum is not required.

It would be a good Idea to get one just in case.

I believe that in some countries (e.g. the UK) there is routine inoculation provided for tetanus.

Many infections are visible. You can see them or feel them. A tetanus infection differs. A long pointed nail might give a deep puncture wound. The outer wound might heal. Deep inside a tetanus infection lurks. It could be treated by antibiotics if anyone knew it existed but no one does. The person feels a little lethargic. So what, doesn't everyone some time? Then the patient starts feeling really lousy. He goes to the doctor. Tetanus. The doctor puts the patient in the hospital. Oxygen. IV drips with antibiotics added. Sometimes the patient pulls through, sometimes not.

Many needless deaths have occurred because a British Doctor lied on a witness stand about vaccines causing autism. He should be hanged as should be the lawyers involved in that fraud.
