I woke up like that once. A bit scary when you can barely move your face. But...
*crunch*
Fixed. |

Have you recently cut yourself? For example, stepped on a rusty nail, or something of the sort?
If yes, take yourself to E.R. IMMEDIATELY. You may have lockjaw, or otherwise known as tetanus.
How is tetanus spread?
Tetanus is contracted through a wound which becomes contaminated with the organism. It is not transmitted from person to person.
Where is the tetanus germ found?
The tetanus germ is present throughout the environment and is commonly found in soil contaminated with manure.
What are the symptoms of tetanus?
A common first sign of tetanus is muscular stiffness in the jaw (lockjaw), followed by stiffness of the neck, difficulty in swallowing, rigidity of abdominal muscles, spasms, sweating and fever.
How soon after infection do symptoms occur?
The incubation period is usually eight days but may range from three days to three weeks. Shorter incubation periods are associated with more heavily contaminated wounds.

| No worries. I know all about tetanus. My shot is still effective, anyway (I hope). Plus, I haven't gotten any scratches or cuts. Thanks for the detailed info, though. :) |

Just concerned for our little Yanny :)
I really wouldn't like to see anyone getting sick and dying on us. |

Yeah. I feel kinda bad for only knowing him as "that doctor dude" but I guess I'm not the only one who remembered him that way. |

I can't remember his name... but I remember there being a lot of controversy here in TA because of him. |
