Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tetanus is caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, which is commonly found in soil, dust, and manure. The bacteria can enter the body through wounds, especially deep puncture wounds like those caused by stepping on a rusty nail. The association with rusty nails is not due to the rust itself, but because the conditions that cause rust (such as being outdoors, exposed to soil, etc.) are also conducive to the presence of the bacteria.
