Got into a scrap last night. A really freaky guy bit me. What do I do?


Question:
Last night my friends and I got into an argument with another group of guys outside a bar. One dude threw a punch at my friend, and all hell broke loose. Next thing I know, I'm pounding a guys head into the ground when I was jumped from behind.

I started wrestling with this nutter, and before I could pin him, he started chomping my arm. I have black and blue teeth marks on my forearm, and it actually broke the skin in two spots.

I washed it thoroughly, and poured peroxide on the puncture wounds before applying an antiseptic cream.

What diseases are transmissible through a human bite? I'm keep an eye out for infection, but should I worry about something communicable as well?

Answers:
bite someone else and see what happens

Other Answers:
I would go get tested in a few month for Aids.

rabis get a rabies shot


you are in danger. a man bite is worse than rat bite. maybe get AIDS. try to find the guy and get him tested. go to a doctor.


Get a TENTNIS SHOT! ASAP

When was your last tetnus shot? Aids is transferred through breaking the skin. you better hope he didnt have rabbies or any other thing. before u know it, yuoll be bitting other fimmina's arms untill they are black and blu lol, hope it doesnt hurt you too badly


Yes..the human mouth is the dirtiest part of the our bodies.Go to the emergency room and have that checked out.I got bit like that once in Georgia when I was on Guard Duty.you need to have blood tests done.and one more thing.keep getting lab tests done cause you may develope something later in life.DANG! I hate human bites.theyre worse than an animal


you're screwed.

rabis, aids, sti's,crabs, nits etc.. ha ha ha but that's funny that he bit you Go to the hospital they may be able to test it if the skin was broke


you better get it checked just in case, Aids as well as hepatitus are transferable through broken skin. the human mouth is one of the worst for carrying bacteria. Worse than a dogs mouth they say. . you did good by taking action. but still wouldnt hurt to get it checked out. Good luck. And stay out of fights.lol


The human mouth is the most disease ridden orifice that there is. It has more germs on average than a dog bite, or a bat bite, or even a pig bite. In fact, you could get any number of diseases from this attack, including, but not limited to: Herpes Zoster, Hepatitis A and/or C, a cold or influenza virus, or tuberculosis. Basically, get to a doctor. If you successfully knocked out some of this dude's teeth, take them with you so they can be tested for diseases. By the way, you cannot get AIDs this way unless the biter had a bleeding mouth wound. AIDS is not transmitted by saliva.

I am not sure what diseases or infections can take place with a bite that breaks skin, but I would go to a place like doctors care, where it is not that expensive and ask them to check me for any disease or infections. I would do this like..tomorrow!! Or go online and type in the yahoo search engine DISEASES CAUSED BY HUMAN BITES.
