Tetanus Alert For Farmers From State Agriculture Chief
Dr William Moore head of the Veterinary division warns farmers to watch for tetanus during summer. Horses are frequent victims from stepping on rusty nails, with symptoms including spasms and possible lockjaw. Clean wounds and tetanus antitoxin are advised, and vaccination with toxoid offers protection. Farmers should clear livestock yards of nails and scrap metal. Reported infestation rates by volunteers show 4.6 percent on July 19 versus 11.4 percent on July 22, 1943.
