Hi Ellen,

Have a look at Shannons info, very informative

Wait a minute. I think that the animal story was about rabies. Is tetanus typically transferred through animal bites? Subrata Kumar Banergea's experience was with ledum and tetanus.

A great number of rx could be indicated when someone has been bitten by an insect or animal and as always you need sx that come from the individual to be able to prescribe the simillimum - there might not be any sx except maybe soreness but ask if there is any particular type of pain and/or sensation and if any get some modalities which >. Ledum like any other rx as you know has very specific modalities.

The appearance of the wound will be important also such as colour, any inflammation, developing suppuration, swelling etc.

If sx develop then your son's reaction to them will also be important, i.e. his nature.

With sx we can put together a case, otherwise guess work. Tetanus will only develop in one who is susceptible but there might be other complaints arising from a bite. There are a few prophylaxis for Tetanus apart from Ledum - Hypericum, Arnica, Aconite, Physostigma, Silicea, Angostura and possibly others.

Hi Joy,

Clear cut homeopathic info, thanks a lot

Ellen, I'm pretty sure the bat episode was rabies, not tetanus--or perhaps this was a separate case?

Yes it was a Rabies case. But that brings me to think why wouldn't the vet that Roger talked to be worrying about something like plague or rabies? He doesn't sound well informed.

Reading Sherri's papers, I was thinking of Roger living in a tropical region when he is presumably from a Northern climate. Will he necessarily have the antibodies of that region? The Crimean war statistics are encouraging because they were also crossing climate zones.

Vitamin B6 and C to increase resistance to inflammation? Sounds good.

This is Roger's son so he can watch him easily. If it were a patient, 50% does not sound like a very good success rate. But what happens with these kinds of clinical statistics? All these Banajea patients came up with tenanus symptoms? From Sherri's descriptions, that is hard to imagine.

FWIW, when my toddler son was bitten by a mouse in our back yard, our doc told us that for some reason rodent bites don't seem to transmit rabies--he didn't know or speculate about why.

The 50% success would mean that 50% fewer cases developed *than would have been expected*, and Will notes that in Northern climates, it is uncommon in any case. (I don't know whether the situation is the same where Roger is.)

Roger is in Thailand.

Max, my son is in Holland, Roger hangs around in Thailand. The brain cookes a bit more, therefore he can work a bit slower, but the concentration is better. So, all in all, no negative effects

Wounds already gone/closed, no further reaction/symptoms at all. Mother very happy with the influx of info, father too,

thanks a lot to all who contributed
