>>>>>>>>It's "tetanus", pronounced mostly as tetnus. I just couldn't tell from the context of your message which you'd finally picked. It seems you finally decided on 'tetnus'? That's wrong.

>>>>>>>I understood it after your messages and I'm glad I asked. Here is the whole story, if you're interested. When I first saw it spelled "tetnus" I thought it's wrong and corrected it. The field in the database is called LTetnus. When I found another place where it was again spelled wrongly that got me to think I was wrong in the first place. I asked this question here and then googled on "tetnus", found pages and concluded I made a mistake. Luckily you were all here to correct me once again, so I did fix it again.

I still don't understand the logic. If you choose not to be immunised against a particular disease and everyone else has been then to whom do you pose a threat?
