Hiccups, respiratory distress, and death.
The tetanus bacteria, Clostridium tetani, produces a toxin called tetanospasmin that interferes with nerve signals, leading to muscle stiffness and spasms. In severe cases, these muscle spasms can affect breathing, leading to respiratory failure and death.
The duration of Spasms is 1.5 hours.

how long does muscle spasms last
For many years i had suffered severe abdominal pain and had many trips to the doctor to no avail. It was finally narrowed down to the use of codiene(panadiene.) I would sometimes take a couple to get rid of a headache after a night out . The pain came on gradually for 10 or so mins and keep building up until i was doubled over and panting, shallow rapid breathing was the only way i could get relief. This would typically go on for about 3 spasms each lasting 5 or so mins with about 10 mins in between. I have now switched to panadol and no more spasms. Hope someone out there benefits from this.
