Problem:

On July 8th, a woman was given an antibiotic for presumptive sinusitis. However, her condition worsened, and she was unable to eat for 4 days because of severe pain and tightness of the jaw. On July 12th, she was admitted to a hospital with severe facial spasms. She reported that on July 5th she had incurred a puncture wound and the base of her big toe; she cleaned the wound but did not seek medical attention.

Required:

Question 1: What caused her symptoms?

 Question 2: Was her condition due to an infection or an intoxication? Can she transmit this condition to another person?

so any suggestions should ideally aid in this goal.
