Tetanus Shot

가을학기전에 Tetanus record를 가져오라해서 찾아보니 파상풍
내친김에 정기검진을 지난주에 받고
어제 병원에서 이놈의 주사를 맞았는데
어제는 개안터니만
오늘은 맞은 부위가 붓고 뜨끈뜨끈한거이
영 기분이 ...
날도 더운데 열까지 더하며 어지러운 기분이 들어
종일 누워 있기만 했다


TETANUS, also called lockjaw, is a medical condition characterized by a prolonged contraction of skeletal muscle fibers. The primary symptoms are caused by tetanospasmin, a neurotoxin produced by the Gram-positive, obligate anaerobic bacterium Clostridium tetani. Infection generally occurs through wound contamination and often involves a cut or deep puncture wound. As the infection progresses, muscle spasms develop in the jaw (thus the name "lockjaw") and elsewhere in the body.[1] Infection can be prevented by proper immunization and by post-exposure prophylaxis.
