About Tetanus
Tetanus is a rare but serious disease.
It is caused by bacteria called Clostridium tetani, which is mainly found in soil, dust and manure.
People can get tetanus when the bacteria enter through skin wounds or punctures. Once inside the body, the bacteria produce a toxin that affects the central nervous system.
