Microorganisms such as tetanus are present on objects that cause soft tissue cuts. When editing, the body begins to produce a strong poison that affects the nervous and muscular systems. Thus, skeletal muscles contract, which leads to generalized pain. Tetanus can lead to disability and even death. Infectious diseases can be prevented by vaccination. Vaccination helps your immune system fight infection, particularly tetanus. Repeated prophylactic injections against tetanus should be given every 10 years.
