What are the symptons of tetanus?

As you probably already know... Tetanus is:\n\nTetanus [TET-nus] is a condition that affects the nervous system and causes painful, uncontrolled muscle spasms. \nPeople get tetanus when spores of the tetanus bacteria enter the body through an open wound and produce a powerful nerve poison. Tetanus spores are found throughout the environment, usually in soil, dust, and animal waste. \nTetanus is preventable through immunization. Because of widespread use of tetanus vaccine, the condition is now rare. I know that most doctors almost INSIST that senior citizens keep up to date on their tetanus shots.\n\nNOw...The first signs of tetanus infection are usually a headache and spasms or cramping of the jaw muscles (lockjaw). As the poison spreads, it progressively attacks more groups of muscles, causing spasms in the neck, arms, legs, and stomach, and sometimes violent convulsions (seizures... remember that the key word here is SPASMS

Rust from a metal object does NOT cause tetanus.  A bacteria named Clostridium Tetani produces a toxin that causes tetanus.  C. Tetani can grow in many environments and is abundant in soil.  Assuming you've had a tetanus vaccine within the past 10 years, you'll be fine.  \n\nMost infections from cuts are caused by Staphylococcus Epidermidus, Staphylococcus Aureus, Streptococcus Pyogenes and many other bacteria that are on your skin.  Washing a cut throughly with soap and water immediately after an injury is important.  An antiseptic such as isopropyl alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, or antibiotics creams such as neosporin should be applied to the wound.  A bandage helps keep debris out of the wound.  If you notice an infection developing, go see a doctor immediately.  Signs of infection may include swelling and redness around the site of infection, fever, etc.  This condition is life-threatening.\n\nDo you have diabetes?  Diabetics tend to have a decreased immune response and are prone to infections.  Good glycemic (blood sugar) control can reduce this.

'Lockjaw' is tetanus and a headache would be the least of your problems.  It does, however, sound very much like TMJ, or Tempero-Mandibular Joint.  ?Does your jaw pop or make a noise when you chew or yawn?  Perhaps, you can ask your dentist.  Very best wishes....

Tetanus can be deadly. No joke. Go to the emergency department to get evaluated. Now. ESPECIALLY if you can't recall the last time you had a tetanus booster. Not trying to scare you, I just don't want you to blow it off, or just put a "band-aid" on it. \n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/nip/publications/pink/tetanus.pdf\n\nDon't even wait to read the link.

In such cases, treatment with antibiotics may be necessary and a doctor should be consulted.
