That could happen anywhere, as could tetanus, legionaires, et al. Apart from applying generous levels of common sense, I shall carry on as usual. -- Spider.

Well, I'm up to date with my Tetanus jab. Cellulitis is a problem for me, but forewarned is forearmed. I warm up before working and just try and be sensible. I'm determined not to be put off gardening, or go out there in fear for my life ... I'd never get anything done! There are far more things good about gardening than there are bad. It would be grand if that made me brave, but stubborn is probably nearer the mark:~)). -- Spider. On high ground in SE London gardening on heavy clay |

I thought these days that 'they' (doctors, NHS etc) now reckon that 'keeping it up to date' is unnecessary. If you had a tetanus jab decades ago, it was longer lasting that they previously realised, and didn't need regular renewing every ten years or so. Certainly, I haven't had one for so long I don't remember the last one (mind you, that might mean it was last week, but I don't think so. LOL!) God alone knows what phase they are in at present. When I started, you needed multiple injections, and a booster every three years. Then it was one every five, then ten, and then no more. And then they went back to ten years, or five in some cases. And then back to no boosters. And then there was research that indicated that the protection after quarter of a century is weak. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Essentially I think you're right and I believed myself to be fully up to date. However, when I had a nasty festering injury and went to A&E, the first thing they did was give me a tetanus shot before calling for the orthopedics doc. It leaves we wondering ... -- Spider.

Perhaps I should get another tetanus shot - the last one was more than 20 years ago. |

In article , says... I know what I think about it... yes Bob, and manure is terribly dangerous too :-) Imagine going to the doctor and getting antibiotics every time you got a tick... Lyme is not that common in the UK, or here in France. Ticks on the other hand, we get bitten by hundreds every year, not to mention those the animals bring in. Though Lyme is very dangerous, for certain, but there's no point in panicking about everything! My friend in Boston (USA) lost a kidney to it, and my sister-in-law, also from the US, had quite a bad case although with no permanent damage. Of course she ignored the "bulls-eye" rash, which was not very clever. The article was just looking for things to worry about, you can get a tick as easily walking through a field as gardening. -- Gardening in Lower Normandy |
