The one-minute self-test for tetanus is usually unreliable.
If the body wound is deeper, it is easy to be infected with tetanus bacillus, during the attack of the disease, there will be symptoms such as clenched teeth, difficulty in swallowing, unfavorable pharyngeal muscle spasm, and there will be the contracture of cervical broad muscle, back muscle contracture caused by the “angular inversion of the bow” and other manifestations, which is usually very painful, and then, as the disease continues to aggravate, it will occur. As the disease worsens, death by asphyxiation may occur.
If these symptoms occur, they may be caused by tetanus bacillus infection.
If you have deep wounds in your life, you should go to a regular hospital and get a tetanus vaccination in time to prevent tetanus bacillus from entering the wound area.
Clinical laboratory examination is difficult to confirm the diagnosis, can be practiced wound tetanus bacillus culture, but the significance of the test is low, usually through the typical manifestations and history of trauma, it can be clearly diagnosed. And 1 minute self-test tetanus is not rigorous.
