Shots urged for tetanus A 34-year old Darlington County man has survived a mo torcycle accident and a case of tetanus, the State Board of Health said today. The victim, a Negro, was thrown from his cycle and ap parently contracted the disease when tetanus germs entered his body through a puncture wound in his ankle. Dr. Donald H. Robinson, Chief of the Board of Health’s Bureau of Preventive Health Services, said that tetanus germs can be found almost anywhere, for example, in dust and dirt, on tools and equipment, in stables and farmyards, and in garden soil treated with animal ma nure. He said the intestines of grass-eating animals harbor the germs. “The germs can be picked up by plants or animals and introduced into a person’s body by a thorn scratch or an insect bite,” Dr. Robinson continued. However, the disease is usually contracted through a deep wound.” One of the attending physi cians of the Darlington victim said, “Although my patient was in the hospital for four weeks, he was lucky. Two out of every three persons who get tetanus die from it. “Tetanus shots are the only way to prevent the disease. Too many people are negligent in maintaining their protection through immunizations,” h e commented.
