![TIL there are no tests that can confirm tetanus [760x1325 - 195KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/78Qw7L.png){kind=link}
You work the construction trades you get a tetanus shot regularly. Why? Just in case. I kid you not. I've been told more times than I can remember that by the time they can confirm you have tetanus it's too late to do anything about it. Our medical industry is odd at times.

Tetanus shots are good for 10 years, so if by regularly you mean every 10 years, then yes.

They might be good for even longer, but the powers that be choose to refrain from testing how long it does last. Rather, they confirmed it lasted a minimum of 10 years. Then chose to be willfully ignorant of how long it does last

If you can't remember your last one then you could get another, I have been told.

Nurse: "When was the last time you had a tetanus shot?" Me: "I don't remember." Nurse: "Roll up your sleeve."

Last tetanus shot I got was in 2008. I shit blood for two years after that. Effectively contracted crone's disease.

It's basically a specific variant of bacterial blood poisoning.
Wash wounds carefully and use penicillin and you should be fine I think.

And the coooovid test does not test for covid

The shot is just mild poison, there's no such thing as "tetanus".
No one needs any "vaccines", they don't do anything except make people autistic.

All viruses and vaccines are a hoax. Nice observation for tetanus

Yep. And Apparently it has the highest mercury content.
Read another forum that the bacteria that causes tetanus can be killed with oxygen. So the first step is to allow the wound to bleed well to try to get most of it out. Then, not to bind it or prevent it from getting plenty of air. Kinda funny how we are taught to run to bandaids as a kid over the tiniest scrape.

I stepped on a rusty tack while traveling abroad. To protect me the dr injected some tetanus into my arm.. Makes no sense.

Tetanus is a condition where you have continuous muscle spasms. You don't need a clinical test, the patient will be rigid and all his muscles will be in spasm. You can culture C tetani which is the bacteria that is a major cause of tetanus (tetanus itself is a symptom described about, can be caused by more than just the tetanus bacteria), but like someone else said, by the time those results come back it would be too late. There are antitoxins that can counteract the tetanus toxin and those would just be given empirically (meaning you treat based on a presumed diagnosis as opposed to one confirmed through lab tests).

So it's not that we couldn't develop a test for it, there just isn't any point to do it.
