[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 366925"] I'm really glad to see you are feeling well enough to post. I'm super surprised you have a case tetanus...that's unusual. There are only (give or take a few cases here because of reporting of cases being inaccurate) about 10 to 15 cases of tetanus per annum in the Untied States and Canada. I find it odd your doctor blames immigrants??? It has nothing to do with vaccines\immigrants at all. Tetanus is a dirt borne pathogen, usually found where Esquitarian species are (particularly horses and rabbits) and cattle as well. It's from their feces mixing in with dirt and water. It's everywhere! We're immune not because of the vaccine (and your doctor should have given you the immunoglobulin of tetanus not the vaccine, it's been proven more effective in treatment of tetanus infection already present) but because we are exposed to it on a daily basis. It's not making a come back, it was always here. Same for pertussis (aka whooping cough), the wild strains of pertussis have been proven to be the same strains that were thought to be wiped out. The link to tetanus with pertussis is from the DTAP (aka dtp) vaccine. Studies are still lacking on that link to date but it is a fairly new theory\hypothesis running the gauntlet of the scientific community. Strep, also present in out mouths, noses, throats and rectums. It is an opportunistic bacteria that will take over if not kept in check by the immune system and I'm betting your ordeal started with the mono which left you immuno-compromised (temporarily) and allowed the strep to take over and then the tetanus to be opportunistic as well. I'm most disturbed by the misinformation your doctor left you with but I am very very happy to see you doing so much better. Glad you are pulling through!!! [/QUOTE]
