There’s lots of work to be done outdoors at this time of year. And when the weather cooperates, it can be pretty enjoyable - as long as you  take the necessary precautions to do it safely — like wearing closed-toed shoes while mowing the lawn or safety glasses while using a sander on the wrought iron railing you’re prepping to paint. It just makes sense. But have you thought about the fact that the harmful bacteria that causes tetanus lives in the soil, dirt and dust around your home, and that even a small amount can lead to illness if you are not protected? That’s why the Canadian Coalition for Immunization Awareness & Promotion  is encouraging Canadians who have not had a tetanus booster in the past 10 years to get it done. Better safe than sorry. So if you haven't had a booster recently (you know who who are) get it done. 'Nuff said.
