This may sound really messed up, but its for the best she died so early into the calamity. We've seen how brutal the post apocalyptic world becomes, especially to women and children, she was spared a horrible fate from someone like her brother would eventually become.damn, imagine surviving the initial apocalypse just to die from tetanus soon after. poor kid
the moment I saw the plank with nails I knew she's fucked. Tetanus is no joke in a world with poor or no modern medical aidI thought please be alright the moment she said owch, then I thought it went uphill when they got her to a doctor but nope
Yeah, I mean, it was a red herring, so I thought surely it can't be that simple.the moment I saw the plank with nails I knew she's fucked. Tetanus is no joke in a world with poor or no modern medical aid
Is tetanus really that bad in this setting? I was under the impression that one alcohol rub and it would be fine, I got cut by a rusty box cutter back then. Although I guess they also don't know how much threat it is and didn't sanitize the wound after.the moment I saw the plank with nails I knew she's fucked.

It's potentially deadly and if it gets into your blood cleaning the wound won't change that. That said, precisely because it's dangerous there's vaccines and idk the infection rate without preventive measures but obviously not every open wound results in death from tetanus...Is tetanus really that bad in this setting?

I don’t know about their world, but in OUR world, it is a big deal. Tetanus is highly lethal with about 25% of people dying when left untreated and 10% even when treated. It’s terrible even if you survive the ordeal as your convulsions are so strong that you can break your bones from the spasms while you’re infected. It’s not a pleasant disease to say the least.Is tetanus really that bad in this setting?
