Best Answer

The causes of tetanus diseases are puncture wounds. However, there are only specific bacteria that cause tetanus when they get into your bloodstream. These microorganisms are found in rust, soil, animal waste, and other related materials. If this ever happens to you, seek immediate medical attention to get a tetanus shot and have the contaminated skin tissue removed.

Tetanus is caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, which enters the body through wounds or cuts. The bacteria produce a toxin that affects the nervous system, leading to muscle stiffness and spasms. Lack of vaccination or incomplete immunization against tetanus increases the risk of contracting the disease.
