AI overview
Tetanus is a serious bacterial infection that causes painful muscle spasms, often starting in the jaw and spreading throughout the body, with symptoms typically appearing 3 to 21 days after infection. The condition matters because the spasms can be severe enough to break bones and last for weeks, making recovery a lengthy process that requires medical attention.
