I remember going to the beach before, rolling up my trousers with my friend, and then walking and chatting in the sea water on my calves. When the sea breeze blew, although there was a little fishy smell of the sea, I felt relaxed.
As I walked, I saw some women wearing straw hats doing in the sea. I rushed over and said that barefoot was not afraid of wearing shoes, but the feeling of stepping on the reefs in the water was heartbreaking. The skin on the feet was cut, revealing a little flesh the size of a little finger. Some tourists on the beach said it was okay and the sea water could be disinfected, while others said the wound was not small. It was best to go to the hospital for treatment later and get an tetanus .
If it weren't for the beach this time, my foot was scratched, and I guess I would never know in my life that this little hole would need to break the tetanus.
This is the first time I heard that sea water can be disinfected. Is it true or false?
In fact, many people think so, because sea water is salty and salt inside can be used to prevent inflammation. In fact, there are thousands of species of organisms in seawater, and there is no shortage of bacteria. There is a type of halophilus called Vibrio that can cause severe infection in the broken wounds on the human body. Therefore, it is purely nonsense to say that sea water can prevent inflammation and sterilize.
But it is not a trivial matter to have wounds on the body. Many people think that a little bit of a small hole in the body is not a big deal. As long as the blood stops, it will be fine. If you make a fuss and then break the tetanus, it would be a bit "pretentious". However, the consequences of despising small wounds in this way may have serious consequences for physical health, such as causing tetanus.
What is tetanus and what consequences will it bring to what happens?
tetanus is a specific physical infection disease caused by tetanus . Tetanus is generally found in the intestines, soil and environment of mammals. This is also the reason why cats, dogs and other animals have to go to the hospital to get tetanus when they step on nails while working. Because tetanus may exist in animals' bodies and environments, it will enter the human body through wounds.
This bacteria will produce toxins after entering the body, which will slowly lead to serious infections in the body's wounds, causing spasm , laryngeal spasm, suffocation, and even lung infection , body organ failure, etc. .
What kind of wound is needed to get a tetanus injection?

If the above can be eliminated, no matter whether the wound is big or small, as long as the wound is deeper, , it is best to go to the hospital for a tetanus injection, because the wound outside of may be iodine disinfection, which can disinfect the bacteria outside .
However, the deep part of the wound is not passed by iodine, which can create conditions for the reproduction of tetanus. But when is stabbed by metal or rusty objects, tetanus needs to be broken. Also, is a wound that is burned, soil, feces, saliva-contaminated wound, squeezed wounds, fireworks and blow-ups , etc., and it also needs to break tetanus.
looks like it was scratched by a reef in the sea water. In fact, considering the complexity of the sea water environment and considering the size of the wound, if the wound is deep, it is best to go to the hospital for injection of tetanus, just in case. After all, the harm of tetanus at home is indeed not small. How to deal with small wounds in
?
For some shallow, less bleeding, and small wounds, it is recommended to use clean water, normal saline, and iodine to clean and disinfect , and then use wrinkle patch to process some tissue fluid to achieve the effect of stopping bleeding. Some bandages like this also have a sterilization effect.Change it every day, and change it in time if it gets wet.

Its incubation period is usually 7-8 days, sometimes 24 months, but some are lurking for several months or even years. However, most of them are ill after 2 weeks after the injury. , so it is best to get injections in time after the body is injured. is beneficial to early injection.
and because tetanus injection is only effective for about 10 days. For people with deep wounds, doctors will also recommend taking it for a while for about 7 days just in case. After breaking tetanus, the body will be immune to tetanus, which can prevent the damage to the body by tetanus in the short term.
In addition to tetanus injection, there is also tetanus vaccine. This vaccine requires 3 shots to be vaccinated in a short time and is effective, and the body will be protected for up to 5-10 years. Vaccines have a preventive effect on tetanus, and tetanus injections are short-term treatment. If the body is injured after being vaccinated, it will also have a positive effect on the weakening and disappearing of tetanus at the wound.
What should I pay attention to after tetanus vaccination?
Generally, after tetanus injection, the doctor will ask you to stay in the hospital for another half an hour to observe whether your body has any allergic rejection reactions. If you don’t have to leave the hospital. If you find that you have symptoms of dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath, and feel itching, redness, swelling, rash, , etc., it is best to find a doctor to deal with it.
