Symptoms of TETANUS
Some people will only develop pain and tingling at the site of the infection. There may be localized muscle spasms. The majority of people who develop tetanus will experience stiffness of the jaw and neck. Difficulty swallowing will occur, with spasms of the jaw or facial muscles. Spasms may occur in the neck, the abdomen and the muscles of the back. The respiratory muscles may be similarly affected, with severe spasms making it difficult to breath. Fever, rapid heart beat and profuse sweating may occur.
