Description:Tetanus enters the pody through cups in the skin. Children can also get the disease after a severe burn, an ear infection, tooth infection, or from animal bites. Although rusty nails are often blamed, the disease is cause by bacterial toxin -- not rust. So, you can get tetanus from a shiny nail just as easily as a rusty one. Symptoms usually begin with a headache, crankiness, and spasms of the jaw muscle. There are only about 50 cases of tetanus a year in the U.S., but 3 out of every 10 people who get it will die. Tetanus vaccine is usually give to children together with pertussis and diphtheria vaccine in one shot called DTaP.
