FAQ’s about Tetanus

A twitch is a small, involuntary muscle contraction. Tetanus is a serious bacterial infection causing muscle stiffness and spasms, often starting in the jaw and neck.
You should get a tetanus shot within 48 hours after an injury. However, getting a shot within 10 days can still provide some protection. Always consult a doctor.
No, tetanus cannot heal on its own. It requires medical treatment. If untreated, it can be life-threatening.
Not necessarily. If you are up to date with your tetanus shots , you may not need one. For dirty or deep wounds, consult a doctor.
Cleaning a cut thoroughly with soap and water can reduce the risk of tetanus. However, it may not completely prevent it. A tetanus shot may still be needed for dirty or deep wounds.
Be concerned if you have a deep or dirty wound and it's been more than few years since your last tetanus shot. Look for symptoms like jaw stiffness, muscle spasms, and difficulty swallowing.
High-risk wounds include deep punctures, animal bites, burns, crush injuries, and wounds contaminated with dirt, feces, or saliva.
Rust itself does not cause tetanus, but rusted objects can harbor the tetanus bacteria. Any puncture wound from a rusty object should be checked by a doctor.
