There is a disease we weren't seeing much of before due to vaccination.
Seems we are seeing more for some unknown reasons. The disease, TETANUS.
This week marked one of the highest numbers of Tetanus I saw (About 5) in 4 days.
What is responsible for this surge in Tetanus

What is responsible for this surge in Tetanus
The stories were usually Someone had a Cut or stepped on something sharp. Cleaned it quickly without going to hospital
In some people it was putting hot oil on the feet.
After days when they could not open their mouths to eat and the body was stiff they rushed to a hospital

There's also been cases of people in the past who had Tetanus from Poor Abortions.
So someone goes for Abortion, it isn't well done, some remnants of what is aborted still stays in the womb...most likely an infected instrument was used

In a few, Babies with Tetanus. when the mums were cutting the umbilicus and probably didn't use sterile instruments..the babies got infected
Sadly when some of these people come to Hospital despite management they die.
It is very painful losing someone to something preventable

To say a little bit about TETANUS.
It is caused by a Bacteria called CLOSTRIDIUM TETANI
So this bacteria is present in the soil, feces, dirts, etc. It can stay alive for a long time. When it enters the body it produces a chemical that causes the Tetanus

So someone has a cut, they don't know the wound is infected. They go as if everything is normal.
Once the bacteria is in the body. It starts to produce the chemicals ..they notice they can't open their mouth and the hands & body are stiff

Ideally Tetanus vaccination is embedded in our Vaccine schedule but some people are Anti VACCINERS and don't take it
It is advisable we all get Vaccinated and get booster shots as indicated after the years on your vaccination card

If you have a deep cut don't just assume, go to a hospital where a first Aid of Tetanus shot is given to you.
This little act has saved a lot of life.
There is no reason why people should have Tetanus and die from complications

There are some things that can also reflect survival in the long run
If the wound is closer to the head.
If the Spasms are getting too much before coming to hospital.
In children and elderly people
When there are also Organ problems
It doesn't have to get to this. A Shot saves
