Symptom #10: Breathing Difficulties
We often take the air that we breathe for granted, but we simply cannot do without it. The process of breathing is controlled by muscles that expand and contract the lungs, causing them to suck in and exhale air. If the muscles responsible for these actions are affected then even breathing can become difficult, and this can be extremely dangerous.
Because a tetanus infection will affect the body’s muscles, there is a very serious risk that breathing difficulties can occur. Not being able to breathe is very dangerous for obvious reasons and should be dealt with as an emergency. The condition has a very serious risk of causing a fatality.
