If you suffer a bite that breaks the skin prompt medical care is essential. This applies whether the bite is from a wild or stray animal, the family pet, or even an energy toddler. Animal's mouths are heavily populated with bacteria and other microorganisms that thrive on food residue and debris. These organisms can be transmitted by bites and produce infection, especially if there is extensive tissue damage.
For reasons that are not clear, cat bites are more likely to cause infection than dog bites. Estimate vary, but up to 50 percent of cat bites may become infected, whereas dog bites cause infection, especially if there is extensive tissue damage.
For reasons that are not clear, cat bites are more likely to cause infection than dog bites. Estimates vary, but up to 50 percent of cat bites may become infected, whereas dog bites cause infection only 5 percent of the time. The potential for infection from a human-inflicted bite falls some-where between the two. Bites from children tend to cause because adults can cause deeper injuries that allow more serious infections to establish themselves.
Most bite-related infections are treatable. However certain dangerous viruses, including hepatitis and herpes viruses as well as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are present in the salvia of infected individuals, and could conceivably be transmitted by a bite that breaks the skin. It is worth nothing, however, that there have been no documented cases of HIV being transmitted this way.
Preventive measures for animal and human bites
- It can be dangerous to tease or roughhouse with animals. Even a beloved family companion or usually-friendly neighborhood pets can become provoked.
- If possible get to know neighborhood pets. Identify any animals, such as guard dogs, that may jump a fence and become aggressive or dangerous.
- Before embarking on a camping trip, check with local authorities regarding animal life in the area where you plan to set up camp. Use common sense in wilderness areas; don't attempt to approach wild animals, and don't store food in your tent.
