[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1555924, member: 27490"] Correct. If the band is put on without breaking the skin, it will not be open for infection by Clostridium tetani until necrosis occurs. The cut off of circulation causes the necrosis (necrosis can occur more quickly than "several weeks"). Thereby subjecting the tissue for infection by the subject bacteria. This is why IMO an antitoxin injection at the time of banding has limited value. Because the onset of infection is not going to occur until the tissue is beginning to become necrotic. By then the antitoxin treatment [u]may[/u] have worn off. Still a good insurance policy, antitoxin is cheap. [/QUOTE]
