You absolutely can die from tetanus if you do not receive the treatment, which is a LONG and painful process. In fact, that's why everyone is so adamant that you receive the vaccine known as a "tetanus shot."

No. Tetanus is a rare but often fatal disease that affects the central nervous system by causing painful muscular contractions. It begins when tetanus bacteria enter the body, usually through a wound or cut exposed to contaminated soil.

Yes. This is due partly to how deadly the tetanospasmin toxin is; even a lethal dose may not be enough to provoke an immune reaction, so the body does not develop an immunity from being exposed.

Considering, that all shots should NOT be taken while being sick, because the reactions can be quite harm full, try not to take the tetanus shot if you are sick, unless you want to risk getting a reaction.

I hope this helps you a bit.

This would be unlikely, as current tetanus vaccines are effective for about ten years.
