Tetanus Shots - Important !

wrote: Someone I know got stung by a bee ( about 6 to 8 weeks back). He did not get a tetanus shot. He constantly complains about feeling uneasy and tense. Is it possible that he may be infected with tetanus and is there anything he can do now about it. 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. |

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. |
