Tetanus, is caused by a bacterium found just about everywhere, but especially in the soil. Germs enter the body through openings in the skin. Any wound or laceration, even a tiny scratch, can be an entry point. It takes about a week for the bacteria to establish itself in the body. One of the first symptoms is stiffness in the muscles of the jaw (thus the common name lockjaw)... a stiff neck, headaches, spasms in the limbs and convulsions follow.  Neonatal tetanus occurs after a baby is delivered in unsanitary conditions, especially if the umbilical cord cut is contaminated.
