Tetanus is no joke. If it doesn't get you, the muscle spasms are so bad they might just snap your spine. And guess what? There's not much you can do but wait for your nerves to fix themselves, which could take forever. Please, get vaccinated people!

I pry the rusty nails out of train tracks and eat them like baby carrots.
That's a good source of iron <3, but please wash them and cut them into smaller pieces before eating them, taking bites out of a stake raw is bad for you

Tetanus is an infectious condition triggered by the bacterium Clostridium tetani. When this bacterium infiltrates the body, it releases a toxin leading to severe muscle spasms. Commonly known as “lockjaw,” tetanus often results in the stiffening of neck and jaw muscles, making it difficult to open the mouth or swallow. More than two centuries ago, people mistakenly believed tetanus to be a form of demonic possession due to the abrupt muscle contractions and rigidity experienced by those affected. Nowadays, it's understood that tetanus is a bacterial infection impacting the nervous system. The distinctive posture associated with this disease is termed opisthotonos.

Chamari had been at work all that day and in the afternoon had accompanied me to a nearby village in which a woman of his coal gang, by the name of Parbatti, was reported to be seriously ill. Parbatti, a widow with three children, was the first woman to volunteer to work for me when I arrived at Mokameh Ghat and for twenty years she had worked unflaggingly. Always cheerful and happy and willing to give a helping hand to any who needed it, she was the life and soul of the Sunday evening gatherings, for, being a widow, she could bandy words with all and sundry without offending India’s very strict Mother Grundy. The boy who brought me the news that she was ill did not know what ailed her, but was convinced that she was dying, so I armed myself with a few simple remedies and calling for Chamari on the way, hurried to the village. We found Parbatti lying on the floor of her hut with her head in her grey-haired mother's lap. It was the first case of tetanus I had ever seen, and I hope the last I shall ever see. Parbatti's teeth, which would have made the fortune of a film star, had been broken in an attempt to lever them apart, to give her water. She was conscious, but unable to speak, and the torments she was enduring are beyond any words of mine to describe. There was nothing I could do to give her relief beyond massaging the tense muscles of her throat to try to ease her breathing, and while I was doing this, her body was convulsed as though she had received an electric shock. Mercifully her heart stopped beating: and her sufferings ended. Chamari and I had no words to exchange as we walked away from the humble home in which preparations were already under way for the cremation ceremony, for though an ocean of prejudices had lain between the high-caste woman and us, it had made no difference to our affection for her, and we both knew that we would miss the cheerful, hardworking little woman more than either of us cared to admit.
Jim Corbett, ‘Chamari’

i just found out tetanus vaccines last 10 years… i am absolutely distraught! i was vaccinated against my will around two years ago now which means i have another 8 years where i can never get tetanus… i’m literally crying right now i feel like my life is over. :(
More people need to be talking about this. As someone who is proudly Tetanussexual i cannot believes the injustice I have suffered under the hands of the health system. As a tetanussexual , I deserve to be able to live out my best life with tetanus, and now i can’t… my rights have been taken from me. This is as bad as conversion therapy and we NEED to be talking about it. If you are apart of the LGBTT+ community, you cannot stay silent on this or you are as bad as the rest. We need solidarity.

In avid we had this project where we’d have to make a business and shark tank it. My group decided on a record store. I came up with the name Tetanus Records. I wanted to make a logo.
