2. Because tetanus antitoxin is an immune horse serum that is a heterologous protein in the human body and has antigenicity (allergic reaction), an allergy test should be conducted before medication. If the test result is negative, tetanus antitoxin can be directly injected. If the test result is positive, desensitization injection should be performed, that is, small doses of tetanus antitoxin should be injected 4-5 times. For those who have used tetanus antitoxin for more than a week, if they use it again, they must undergo a skin test again
