Symptom #3: Irritability and Restlessness
Common symptoms noticed in those affected with tetanus are irritability, restlessness, and a general anxiety. These symptoms are all understandable as the body is overwhelmed with the bacterial infection and the toxins affecting the nervous system. Problems communicating with others are also quite common as well as the inability to stay still or to follow given instructions.
Tetanus also affects the psychological state of the person as it interferes with the nerve transmission between the nervous system and the muscles all over the body. A loss of appetite is also quite common.
