Clostridium tetane, the bacteria that causes tetany, loves the low-no oxygen environment of a good-old puncture wound!. In this environment the bacteria will rapidly proliferate and release its powerful endotoxin!.
This endotoxin causes the muscles of the body to stiffen and become painfully contracted!. This disease is also referred to as lock-jaw since the progression of muscle spasms begins in the jaw and neck!. Soon, the body becomes painfully contorted (to the point of bones snapping) until the diaphram becomes paralyzed and the victim suffocates!.
Of course, there is no guarantee that you will contract the disease, however, the vaccine only works if you arent infected!. So, if you get it, you need to suffer through with treatment!.
