The disease called Tetanus occurs when a wound becomes infected with bacterial spores of Clostridium tetani. These spores grow and produce a very powerful toxin which affects the muscles by producing rigidity, and in severe cases convulsions. Treatment is difficult, and vaccination is the only way to provide safe, effective long-term protection against tetanus.
