Tetanus: Causes, Symptoms and Treatments

Travel to Infected Areas

Tetanus infections would happen all over the world. Nevertheless, the number of infectious cases is typically higher in wet and hot areas where the soil is filled with bacteria. Thus, make sure to be careful when you travel to those regions. While tetanus doesn’t spread from people to people, avoid touching anything around when you have an open wound or cut. Those acts would give an opportunity for bacteria to penetrate and spread in your body, thus causing tetanus. [4]
