Dear Welcome to HCM We understand your concerns I went through your details. Tetanus is an infection caused by bacteria called Clostridium tetani. Tetanus bacteria are everywhere in the environment, including soil, dust and manure. The incubation period – time from exposure to illness – is usually 3–21 days (average 10 days). Tetanus symptoms include: Headache Jaw cramping Sudden, involuntary muscle tightening – often in the stomach (muscle spasms) Painful muscle stiffness all over the body Trouble swallowing Jerking or staring (seizures) Fever and sweating High blood pressure and fast heart rate With the current symptoms, your problem may not be tetanus. But you should get the tetanus shot immediately and consult a surgeon. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR.
