by Pat Goss. Timely changing of your timing belt is an often overlooked car care service, and thatâs not good! And Pat Goss tells us why down at Gossâ Garage. For many years, vehicle manufacturers have elected to use timing belts to drive the camshafts in the top of the engine to operate the valves that let fuel into the engine and let exhaust out. But these belts, well, theyâre made of rubber and they ware out over time so they need periodic replacement.
FACT: People with tetanus may have to spend several weeks in the hospital under intensive care and frequently need to be on a ventilator. FACT: For adults, a tetanus-diphtheria booster (Td) every 10 years gives protection against both tetanus and diphtheria. A tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine should be given to adults in place of one Td vaccine to protect them against pertussis (whooping cough), too.
Although tetanus-causing bacteria needs three days to incubate and release the toxin to your blood, you do not have to wait for that long. Soon after you get wounded, try to recall the last time you get a shot of tetanus. Tetanus vaccine should be given when you are young and be repeated once every 10 years. When you step on a rusty nail and havenât got the shot in the last five years, you need to go to the hospital within 24 hours to get the shot. If you have got the shot within the last five years and the wound is not deep and severe, you can take your time to see whether you have the tetanus symptoms.
