Not likeyy a bee is gonna transmit tetanus.
There is absolutely no reason why he couldn't get tetanus from a bee
sting. Tetanus spores are ubiquitous and a skin puncture wound is as
good as deep cut or any other way for the spores to enter the body.
Yes, I felt so as well and told him as much. However, since it has been
about two months since this incidence occured is it safe to say that he
doesn't have to worry about tetanus. If not, is there any way to find
out ( a blood test or some other test) that he may carry tetanus germs.
