text_A: Local tetanus is the most likely form of the disease, and causes people have persistent contraction of muscles in the same anatomic area as the injury. The contractions may persist for many weeks before gradually subsiding. Local tetanus is generally milder; only about 1% of cases are fatal, but it may precede the onset of generalized tetanus.
text_B: Again, given that many lurid historical accounts of tetanus suggest that it was generally an affliction of the entire body, could you conclude from this passage that better hygiene and understanding of germ theory has contributed to it now being much more likely to be a less-serious, more-localized infection in most cases?
YES.
