Usually, tetanus is caused by the toxin produced within the human body by Clostridium tetani, entering through broken skin or mucosa, leading to a specific type of infection. Tetanus is commonly found in our surroundings, such as in moist soil, rusty iron, or on bamboo sticks. When wounds are large, deep, severely contaminated, contain foreign bodies, or in cases of severe burns, scalds, or certain open fractures, it is crucial to seek timely vaccination at medical institutions.
