|
|
Term

|
Definition
| wound: spores infect wound-->neurological problems. Food-borne: spores are ingested-->neuro, gastro, and muscle weakness. Infant: food-borne-->same, plus "floppy head." |

|
Definition
| most commonly effects infants who get it from their mothers, who show no symptoms. Tested in 3rd trimester. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| From a bacterium found in dirt, produces a neurotoxin, which causes involuntary muscle spasms (hence "lock-jaw"). Can be deadly if infected through wound, but ingested is not a health risk. |
