Introduction
一般情况下，破伤风是不传染的，但存在Medical操作不当的情况时，可能会传染。Recommendation及时就医，在Doctor的指导下进行Treatment。破伤风是由破伤风梭菌产生的毒素引起的一种Disease，若身体出现了伤口，需要保持个人卫生，及时处理伤口，必要时可接种破伤风疫苗。
Under normal circumstances, tetanus is not contagious. However, transmission may occur if medical procedures are improperly performed. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention and receive treatment under the guidance of a healthcare professional. The details are as follows:
1. Non-contagious: Tetanus is a disease caused by toxins produced by Clostridium tetani. This bacterium is commonly found in the environment, such as in soil and dust, and can enter the body through skin or mucous membrane wounds. Clostridium tetani does not spread via air, droplets, or direct contact; therefore, tetanus itself is not contagious.
2. Transmission: During medical procedures, improper practices may lead to contamination of another person's wound, thereby indirectly causing the spread of Clostridium tetani.
If a wound occurs, it is important to maintain personal hygiene, promptly clean and treat the wound, and, when necessary, receive a tetanus vaccine to prevent infection with Clostridium tetani.
