scratch of a thorn or insect bite.
Once they enter the body, these
spores “hatch” into tiny, micro-
scopic bacteria, which begin to
multiply. In the process, they lib-
erate one of the deadliest of all
poisons which attacks the nerve
centers causing convulsions and
muscle spasms — some so severe
that victims have been known to
fracture a vertebra.
Usually the first nerves affected
are those of the head and neck
which control the chewing muscles.
These turn rigid with spasm, giv-
ing the disease its familiar name—
lockjaw.
In a clean, free-bleeding cut any
tetanus spores which might con-
taminate the wound are usually
washed out. Or if they do sprout
into bacteria, the micro-organisms
may be destroyed by oxygen in the
blood.
But when blood flow is slight, as J
in deep puncture or crushing
wounds, or when the spores are in-1
sulated by imbedded dirt and de-1
bris, the tetanus bacteria, may
gain a deadly foothold within the
a booster dose within six to twelve
months. Thereafter, immunity is
maintained by booster shots every
five years.
With the new emphasis on out-
door living, with accidents on the
increase and with the spores of
tetanus in the dust and dirt all
about us, we can only look forward
to an increase in this deadly dis-
ease unless we make the effort to
get immunized and keep immun-
ized.
