The disease has been called lockjaw since the muscle spasms in the face
and neck can lead to the inability to open the mouth, and this is one of
the most common symptoms of tetanus. Tetanus is a serious illness that
is fatal in up to 30% of cases. The bacteria that cause tetanus can be
found in soil, manure, or dust.
Tetanus is caused by an infection with the bacterium Clostridium tetani,
which is commonly found in soil, dust and manure. The bacteria
generally enter through a break in the skin such as a cut or puncture
wound by a contaminated object.
