- Summary:
- Every year thousands of babies die from a disease that strikes in the very first days or hours of life. Today tetanus affects only the world's poorest and most remote communities -- but it still claims the lives of about 150,000 babies every year. Poor hygiene and cultural traditions -- like rubbing a mixture of soil and butter on a newly cut umbilical cord -- gives the deadly bacteria the perfect opportunity to breed. ""Kill or Cure?"" goes to Ethiopia, where 14,000 babies die from tetanus every year.
