easilyconfused Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 It is also a very important vaccine as by the time you see symptoms, it is the toxin primarily working and the bacteria producing it are easily treated by antibiotics. By getting your immune system primed for the toxin release, your body can fight off the toxin the bacteria produce, before it affects your nervous system.

David Einhorn Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I recently updated my tetanus booster as it was about time to get another one. Just plan not worth taking the risk as tetanus is a really nasty condition to get, and the shot is good for many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 WebMD Health Search says that tetanus is treatable, but doesn't sound fun since "artificial resperator" is on the list of possible needed treatments after antibiotics, etc. Glad to know its treatable, but possible vectors include puncture wounds, scratches, bug bites, and animal bites.

easilyconfused Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Prevention is much cheaper and less painful though. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure(or something like that). I went in for my seasonal flu shot and they were out so I guess that is an ounce of prevention I'll have to wait for until later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
