How can I tell if I have tetanus?!
Question: How can I tell if I have tetanus.?
Starting about 2 days ago, I've been having small muscle spasms in my neck, and lower jaw. The muscles in my jaw itself seem to be tighter than usual. I can open it, but it feels like there's more resistance than there should be. I've had some short spasms in other parts of my body, arms, legs, etc. It all seems to be getting slowly worse since yesterday, and I've also had a fever since this morning.
The strange thing is that I can't recall a recent injury I've had at all. All I can remember is getting a splinter under a fingernail, but that was a couple weeks ago.
