One tip on how to cook a whole pig that is delicious is to infuse your roast with more flavor by marinating and/or brining the pig before cooking. However, because of the size of these roasts, much of the marinade or brine may not reach the depths of the meat.
You should suspect tetanus if a cut or wound is followed by one or more of these symptoms: 1  Stiffness of the neck, jaw, and other muscles, often accompanied by a grotesque, grinning expression. 2  Difficulty swallowing. 3  Irritability. 4  Uncontrollable spasms of the jaw, called lockjaw, and neck muscles.
Animal bites, burns, and non-sterile injection of drugs can also lead to infection with Clostridium tetani. The first symptoms of tetanus can appear any time from three days to weeks after infection, but the average time until symptom onset is eight days. Tetanus is not contagious, so you cannot acquire the disease from someone who has it. Medically Reviewed by a Doctor on 12/1/2014.
