Geocache Description:

Tetanus is an infection of the nervous system caused by the bacteria Clostridium tetani.


The spores are the source of infection, which are found in the soil, animal feces, teeth, and rusted or corroded metals. The spores enter the body  through a wound. The spores then release the bacteria and it spreads through the body and makes a poison called tetanospasmin, which blocks nerve signals from your spine to your muscles. The time between infection and the first signs  is about 7-21 days. 

Get your tetanus immunization, which protects for up to ten years, leave the kids and pets in the car and head out to search for the cache. It is a small tube like container with log only. It can fit small swag items and stickers and stuff.  Wear your PPE and maybe a tott maybe helpfull. It is on the ground inside one of the cans. Which can is the part where you come in. Congratulations to w01f for contracting tetanus first! FIRST TO FIND

I made the rating high on this one due to extreme enviromental factors and the need for patience. Once retrieved, place it back inside and go wash your hands and put a bandaid on or something.
