If Sadie would not have received the treatment, her risk of fatal complications would be very high. There is no cure for my infection. I could have caused her to have such severe muscle spasms that led to bone fractures, tetanic seizures, aspiration pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, aspiration pneumonia, laryngospasm, or severe kidney failure (Vist). 1 to 2 out of 10 cases are fatal. Once my toxin of tetanus has been attached to your nerve endings, there is no way that it can be removed. To recover completely from my infection, new nerve endings will have to grow and this process may take several months to over a year. My time with Sadie was short-lived, but I will remain living in the dirty soil and animal manure until it’s time to infect
