Tetanus (Lockjaw) causes painful muscle spasms, usually all over the body. It kills about 1 out of 5 people who are infected. It can lead to tightening of the jaw muscles so the victim cannot open his mouth or swallow.
Tetanus enters the body through cuts or scratches.
A person who gets a severe cut or burn might need a dose of Td or
Tdap to prevent tetanus infection.
