Tetanus

yes you have to have a testing. So if you apply it. you may know that if you have an allergy or something lke that...

its to prevent the mother and her baby from getting infections.. some patients might go into labor and give birth in an unsterile environment, which can infect the baby and the mother later on.. some patients might think they dont need it, but still its recommended to take it just to be safe. taking it wont cause harm, other than the needle pain.. if you are pregnant, consult your health care provider about this..

I would not do that. I would get it ASAP!

No, Tetanus is a type of disease in which the persons joints lock up. It is usually caused by rust, stepping on a rusty nail or cutting your hand on a rusty blade. Tetanus shots are given to prevent the disease.

Usually about 10 years, but it depends on if the cut is very dirty.... If you get hurt on a nail about 5 years....

Tetanus is caused by a toxin released by a bacterial organism. The serum contains antibodies to the toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium tetani. The antibodies inactivate the toxin in the blood stream and prevent an individual from experiencing tetanus.

This type of vaccine, which is most notably provided against tetanus, will fight any viruses that might have already been introduced into the body. Tetanus toxoid is often given following trauma to the skin.

It is an infectious often fatal disease characterised by violent tonic muscles spasms and rigidity caused by toxin of Clostridium Tetani. C.Tetani are gram positive strictly anaerobic and bear spores. most of the species grow as saprophytes in soil.Wound infections from bacteria. Tetanus bacteria is found in feces of animals

Clostridium tetani the bacterium that causes tetanus needs to enter a cut or deep wound.

Antisera is given to patients because it contains specific antibodies to the tetanus toxin. By binding, antibody to toxin, the toxin is neutralized. Otherwise, the toxin will cause tetanic musscle contractions seen in patients. This antisera causes a much faster response than the toxoid that is used as a vaccination. In this senario, a innactive form of the tetanus toxin (which is a toxoid) is introduced to healthy individuals. This toxoid causes the body (specifically B-cells) to produce antibodies and most importantly memory cells. Individuals who have circulating levels of antibody are considered immune to tetanus because the body will combat the pathogen before it has a chance to produce toxins.

Tetanus toxoid is a vaccine that prevents a person from contracting lockjaw. Lockjaw is a potentially deadly disease because its poison attacks the nervous system.

Tetanus cannot be transferred via mouth to blood, due to the fact that tetanus cannot grow inside of the mouth because of the saliva. If one has tetanus, it cannot be transferred to another via mouth. The only possible danger is if your blood comes in contact with theirs in which case you might want to be checked, although chances of gaining tetanus from another person are slim to none and if you are updated on your tetanus shots, then there's nothing to worry about.

Take her to the doctor right away. The doctor will determine what needs to be done. I would expect that the doctor will give an tetanus shot right away.

Tetanus was discovered by Arthur Nicolair in 1884.

Tetanus is an infection that usually enters the body through wounds or punctures. It causes severe spasms of the jaw (lock jaw) and other parts of the body. It can cause stiffness in muscles and difficulty swallowing. Other symptoms include elevated temperature and blood pressure, and sparodically elevated heart rate. In some cases tetanus can result in death.

}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

Stepping on a rusty nail or any other type of puncture wound could cause a tetanus infection, a bacterial disease that affects the nervous system and is often fatal. This is not the ONLY way to contract the disease but one should always get checked out after cutting or puncturing the skin with any kind of rusty object.

with in 24 hrs but, its better to take it as quick as possible, more the delay more the infection.

You absolutely can die from tetanus if you do not receive the treatment, which is a LONG and painful process. In fact, that's why everyone is so adamant that you receive the vaccine known as a "tetanus shot."

Tetanus is usually found in soil or rusty metal, you can get rid of it by:

Seeing a your doctor/dentist

and if you have lock jaw then get someone to massage the back of your ears. This will stop the pain.

Hopefully this helped, and i have tetanus but these are working for me abit

Tetanus is a disease caused by a toxin.

There are no negative effects, other than the usual tetanus immunization side effets. If you are in an area experiencing an outbreak of pertussis, you may choose to get the Tdap immunization, which includes protection against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis, immediately regardless of the interval since your last tetanus shot. See info in Related Links for this question.

Tetanus is a medical condition characterized by a prolonged contraction of skeletal muscle fibers. The primary symptoms are caused by tetanospasmin, a neurotoxin produced by the Gram-positive, obligate anaerobic bacterium Clostridium tetani. Infection generally occurs through wound contamination and often involves a cut or deep puncture wound. As the infection progresses, muscle spasms develop in the jaw (thus the name "lockjaw") and elsewhere in the body.[1] Infection can be prevented by proper immunization and by post-exposure prophylaxis.[2]

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).

Yeah it hurts just a little bit, but it is a pain you soon forget about.

Tetanus (or d-tap) shot combines diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (whooping cough) The tetanus shot hurts, but only for a second.

1) Ask for numbing cream at the beginning of the appointment

2) Do NOT look at the needle!

3) Keep calm and don't think about it!

4) Look away, think about stuff that you want to do when you get home.
