tetanus is an infectious disease caused by bacteria found in soil. the bacteria can enter your body through cuts and wounds. however, tetanus isnt contagious.
explain how tetanus can be infectious but not contagious.

Explanation:

Infectious means the disease is caused by a pathogen (here, bacteria). Contagious means it spreads directly from person - to - person. Tetanus bacteria enter via soil - contaminated wounds (not from other people).

Answer:

Tetanus is infectious because it is caused by bacteria (a pathogen). It is not contagious as it does not spread directly from one infected person to another. The bacteria enter the body through contact with soil (e.g., via cuts/wounds), not through person - to - person transmission.
