10 Tetanus Symptoms

Symptom #3: Muscle Spasms
It is not uncommon for us to develop a twitch in a muscle. Such twitches are often a result of sitting in an awkward position for too long, and they usually go away fairly quickly. They are not usually something to be particularly concerned about, although they can sometimes be an indicator of a potentially serious condition.
If you are feeling spasms in muscles throughout your body, it could be a sign that you have a tetanus infection. The bacteria affect the nervous system, resulting in mixed signals being sent to the muscles. This causes the muscles to spasm and while the spasms may be mild to begin with, they are likely to increase in severity.
