[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1582405, member: 27490"] Clostridium tetani spores are ubiquitous. Across the planet. Even above ground, they settle on plants, fence wire, in dust, etc. That is why if you get a bad puncture wound from a honey locust thorn, you need to go to the doctor and make sure your toxoid vaccination is up to date. Same if you step on a board with a nail sticking up or get a bad wire puncture. Puncture wounds are especially bad because tetani is anaerobic. If it is an open wound and you clean it well, tetani does not culture well in an aerobic environment. [/QUOTE]
