Tetanus hat gar nichts mit Rost zu tun, dafür aber mit absterbenden Bakterien.
If the bacteria enter your body and you aren’t up-to-date on your vaccinations, the tiny invaders begin to multiply rapidly. This incubation period is symptom free. But as the bacteria begin to die inside you, they form a neurotoxin that attacks the nervous system. […] The result is a body-wide state of tension, from lockjaw in your face to uncontrollable arching spasms in your back to permanently-curled toes.
Everything you thought you knew about tetanus is wrong
Ich habe mir nie wirklich Gedanken dazu gemacht, sondern nur die Impfung geholt, aber interessant ist es allemal.
