Tetanus is not a “dirty nail myth.”
It’s a medical nightmare we forgot — because vaccines worked.

Credit to Dr Richard Hirschson for highlighting this.

Tetanus is caused by Clostridium tetani, a bacterium found in soil and dust.
It does not spread person-to-person.

You don’t need a dramatic injury.
A small cut, splinter, or scrape is enough.

Once the toxin takes hold, it attacks the nervous system:

• muscles go into uncontrollable spasm
• jaw locks (“lockjaw”)
• back can arch violently (opisthotonos)
• breathing muscles can seize
• patients often remain fully conscious

There is no cure for tetanus.
Treatment is ICU care, ventilation, heavy sedation — and people still die.

As Dr Hirschson notes, he has lost patients to it.

So why don’t most of us see this anymore?

Vaccination.

The tetanus vaccine doesn’t stop injuries.
It stops the toxin from destroying your nervous system.

But protection fades over time — which is why boosters matter.

If you were vaccinated as a child but never boosted:
→ your immunity may be low
→ severe disease is still possible

That’s why adults need Tdap/Td boosters, and why doctors check tetanus status after wounds.

We’re now seeing tetanus and diphtheria re-emerge where vaccination rates fall.

Not because medicine failed —
but because memory did.

Vaccines didn’t erase these diseases.
They erased our memory of how brutal they are.

Get vaccinated. Stay boosted.

Hate to be this person:

But if a child under your care, would rather die, than to tell you they failed

Then you might have failed in parenting.

[dede @derinmama]

i’ve also learnt that not all vulnerability is wise. discernment is needed in choosing where and with whom to be vulnerable.

[Olúwatósìn Olaseinde @tosinolaseinde]

Many people are escaping their parents and running into bad marriages. Create a safe space for your children so they don’t have to run to unsafe spaces because of you. Also if a partner knows your family treats you poorly it opens up room for abuse because they know you don’t have a place to run to. Pls fight to ensure you have a good relationship with your kids.

I have no long-term emotional attachment to anything or anyone outside my family.

There’s really no one or nothing I cannot walk away from.

And while that’s useful sometimes, it also means one tiny offense and I can ghost without flinching.

That behaviour honestly scares me.

[dera. @hrtbeatsforjay]

Needing to rant and not wanting anyone to know your business is such a crazy combo😭

[Hot isi ewu pepper soup and nkwobi 🤭🤭 @afrojudy]

That's why bare minimum people scare me so much
You could be understanding and the whole time they are telling people "I didn't even have to do this for her, I didn't even need to all that for her" they will cheapen your good heart and your niceness to boost their ego

People who aren’t scared of being cringe will rule the world.

You’re sitting on your potential because of what people will say. Be serious.
