Tetanus can be fatal. Even with the best treatment, tetanus can kill. Fortunately, there is an excellent preventive measure available. Getting immunised with anti tetanus vaccine (Tetanus Toxoid) will give you protection against getting it for about 5 years. All you need to do is to get a booster dose every five years. It is an inexpensive and reliable way of not contracting tetanus. In addition, you must also remember to clean all wounds immediately and get proper medical attention for deep wounds. Wounds can cause other infections other than tetanus.

Simple Tetanus
Can she get pregnant if she has sex after 7 days since ovulation?
Seven days post ovulation is close to the outer limit of the fertile period. The problem here is how do you determine the day of ovulation? There is no reliable method to do so that you can practice at home. What if your ovulation was delayed by a few days in that cycle? This is the reason that the rhythm method is not a reliable method of contraception. It relies on estimating the date of ovulation. This estimate can go wrong. If you do not want to get pregnant, there are several inexpensive and highly efficient methods of contraception available. These have been discussed in earlier answers on this channel. Use of any of those methods along with the use of a condom will prevent both pregnancy as well as sexually transmitted infections.
Name of spectacle for photophobia
Photophobia literally means fear of light. Medically, this term is used when a person is highly sensitive to light. In mild cases, it may only be sensitivity to bright light, but the level of sensitivity varies. To answer your question, you need to wear dark glasses. You may use tinted lenses, photochromatic lenses, or polarised lenses. You will have to try out different lenses to see which one you are comfortable with. The more important issue is to determine the cause of your photophobia or photosensitivity. There are many reasons why a person may develop increased sensitivity to light. Some of these are treatable. You must consult an eye specialist for an evaluation.

What is the first aid to treat a person who is bitten by a dog?
The greatest fear from a dog bite is of contracting Rabies. The treatment for Rabies is vaccination after a bite from a suspected infected animal or after a bite from an unknown or unobservable animal. Apart from Rabies, dog bites can also cause various other diseases. Saliva of dogs contain bacteria and other organisms that can cause disease in humans. First aid in case of a dog bite is to _immediately_ wash the wound thoroughly with running water and soap. This will cleanse the area of most of the infective organisms, thus decreasing the injected dose of organism. _Do not_ bandage the area unless it is bleeding profusely. Once this is done, you should immediately consult a doctor for further treatment.
In our culture they don't allow dating a guy who is younger than a lady. They allow dating a guy who is older than a lady. So what should I do - should I move on and leave him or what ..?
There's no good reason why a woman shouldn't be able to date a man who is younger (especially if the age difference is small), and if this guy makes you happy then the relationship is probably worth a fight. Keep in mind also, that despite taboos, criticisms will likely fade over time if people see that you are happy and settled. However it's important to choose your battles wisely - if staying with him makes you more miserable than leaving him, then it's also okay to choose not to fight. Choose the path that leaves you with the least regrets.
