Tetanus infection is more likely in environments where wounds are exposed to soil, dust, or animal feces, as these can harbor Clostridium tetani spores. Activities such as gardening, farming, construction work, or handling rusty or contaminated objects increase the risk. Puncture wounds, deep cuts, burns, and injuries during unsanitary childbirth also create favorable conditions for infection. Prompt wound cleaning and up-to-date vaccination are essential preventive measures in these high-risk situations.
