Preventing wounds from tetanus infestation (page 4)

This particular germs (tetanus) the doctor affirmed as well as other dangerous germs are found in the air, and could also be found in animal manure, street dirt, as well as in human waste. For this reason, both children and adults should be fully protected against tetanus. On the best way to protect ourselves against tetanus, the doctor stated that infants and young children should be immunized and vaccinated against tetanus and other communicable diseases. Vaccination, he said, offers protection against communicable childhood diseases and a combination of injections known as DPT - polio is available for children to protect them against diseases like diphtheria, pertussis (woophing cough), polio and tetanus.

He also counselled parents to always treat open and deep wounds with appropriate drugs as may be prescribed by medical practioners. This is because children usually plays on dirty floor or with dirty or ungygienic materials or objects, which offen harbour tetanus germs and other dangerous micro organisms. Therefore, all of us should be fully protected against tetanus. This we can do by receiving tetanus toxoid injections before any injury or accident ever occurs.

Adults should also not joke with tetanus toxoid injections, especially if you are the type that travels a lot or work in animal farms or zoological gardens. So a wise person will protect him or herself against tetanus now and not wait until one sustain injury or have an accident.

Dr. Oguntuase also cautioned those who are in the habit of treating wound by themselves, especially with drugs like tetracycline, chloramphenicol and other unprescribed antibiotics to desist from such dangerous habit, adding that, those anbibiotics are not meant for wound treatments. They are to be taken orally and not for topical use. Even are to be used, it should be with doctor’s prescription. Taking antibiotic without prescription is what is called misuse of drugs and this is very dangerous.

Also those who apply herbal drugs to open wounds should be careful and be wary of tetanus. There are drugs meant for wounds treatment, so using any type of drugs, either orthodox or natural without consulting a medical practitioner may be a direct invitation to tetanus and other dangerous micro organisms into wounds. Therefore, medical help should always be sought in treating serious injury especially deep cut or wounds, Dr. Oguntuase concluded.
