George,
I have never heard of this before. Tetanus is caused by a infection of
Clostridum tetani bacteria. It is one of the baterias that is known to form a
spore when they are exposed to a harsh eniviorment, such as soil in this case,
and when the spore finds itself in a good eniviorment, inside an animal in this
case, the spore will turn back into the bacteria. Now if you are outside and
have become dirty and a insect stings you and scratch the sting you could
scratch the spore/bacteria inside you but that is so far fetched that we have a
better chance of an asteroid hitting the earth at the same time a super volcano
starts to erupt.
