Outbreak After Tsunami: Tetanus After Tsunami __ Reproduction __ __Treatment/prevention __ Tetanus can be prevented by cleaning all open wounds thoroughly and you can get injected with tetanus toxoid. If it develops doctors can treat it by antitoxininjections, or if it is even more severe, you may need to undergo a tracheotomy. To do this doctors have to make an artificial opening in the windpipe to help the patient breath. Another treatment for it is tetanus vaccine that can prevent tetanus but its protection can’t last long. Every 10 years adults can get a tetanus shot, or booster. The treatments involve antibiotics, cleaning the wounds, and a course of tetanus immune globulin. Children in the US get immunized against tetanus with DPT vaccine, Every 10 years tetanus shot boosters are given. Tetanus

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: center;">Arthur Nicolaier thankfully discovered the bacterial disease tetanus in 1884. The organism that is responsible for tetanus is called //Clostridium tetani.// This organism breaks out and creates spores, which are hard to kill with things such as heat or chemical agents. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; text-align: center;">__Outbreaks__ <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: center;">An outbreak after a deadly tsunami hit Indonesia in 2005 left many people stranded for help by the bacterial disease Tetanus. The waves had carried debris in from the storm, which injured people with cuts. They then ended up lying in dirty water. There were forty confirmed cases and sadly twenty deaths at the Banda Aceh hospital. Unfortunately there also had been seven cases and five deaths confirmed in Meulaboh. There were still more patients flooding in to receive treatment. Doctors stated that it was a very rare disease to come across. There were also Tetanus outbreaks in 1915 in the trenches of World War I. In World War II only five American soldiers died of tetanus, even though they were in mud up to there eyes. Each of these soldiers had been vaccinated against tetanus. Although the British army had found twenty-two cases in which eleven died. All of the deaths were vaccinated soldiers; the eleven that survived were unvaccinated. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">__Treatment__

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">An old-fashioned remedy used to treat tetanus (which was also referred to as “lockjaw”), was to pour warm spirits of turpentine on the wound. The relief was to follow less than a minute afterwards. __<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Jack Storby's info __ __<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Transmitted __ Tetanus is not transmitted from human to human. It is transmittedby bacteria getting through a wound on your body. __Reproducetion__ The hosts cell gives the virus health and then the virus has power to reproduce. Then the hosts body and breaks down the hosts body. __Growth__ The growth of tetanus is when they get protein from the hosts cell. Then i keeps getting more and more protein from the cells. __My sites:__ Works Cited “Binary Fission.” Chart. //Eubacteria//. N.p., n.d.
