According to Chinese media such as Xiao Xiang Morning News, Wang, a man living in Zhejiang Province, recently visited a massage parlour near his home and received foot care. I also received pedicure, a toe and nail care, but the employee accidentally caused a small wound.
He didn't pay much attention at first, but the wound swelled red and the pain worsened along with the high fever, so he went to the hospital.
As a result of the examination, it was diagnosed as tetanus.
tetanus is an infectious disease in which the body aches, pains, and muscle contractions are caused by neurotoxins produced by tetanus grown in the wound area.
In the early stages of infection, localized muscle contraction appears around the wound. As symptoms progress, contraction of the neck and jaw muscles first appears, and gradually intensifies, resulting in paralysis such as inability to open or swallow. It then progresses to trunk muscle contraction. Systemic cramps appear 1-4 days after tetanus onset and may be accompanied by symptoms such as fever and chills.
The medical staff said, `Wang is a diabetic, and it seems that he has not been able to control his blood sugar for a long time.'"The condition rapidly deteriorated when tetanus was infected with the injured foot. Cutting was the best way to save lives", he explained.
He added that 'Twet wind is a very dangerous disease, and if left untreated, the mortality rate is very high.'
In addition, "When receiving services such as foot baths and pedicures, it is important to receive them from hygienic businesses with professional qualifications and operating skills."
