Trust your gut! If it says that person is a creep they likely are and you don't owe them s**t. To much is on the line babe, so get!

Good advice. Google "Kim Family lost in Oregon." 1) They took a "shortcut" that ended up in dead-end logging trails, 2) the father got out of the car and tried to find help and died, 3) his wife and young daughter and baby (!) survived by staying in the car for nine days.

Manuka honey is medical-grade honey, used to support autolytic debridment for traumatic wounds. I presently have a leg injury that resulted in a hematoma. The honey is helping the wound to debride and drain. Much better than going to a wound clinic to have a nurse physically cut away the dead tissue.

CLEAR!

The problem is - while many people know it, it's an instinctual reaction to try to remove it. You have to be very self-conscious to avoid it, especially in case of smaller objects. And in a moment of panic we don't tend to be reasonable

They will drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience.

wait is this actually true?? it sounds kinda fake

In distance cycling the motto is that you aren’t drinking enough if you aren’t peeing.

Panda = show them porn

Pitch smells good too

All parents and parents to be should know first aid and how to do CPR on infants and children

Same with humans, we have tons of bacteria in our mouths. If you get bit and it breaks skin then go to the doctor

happened to me.bitten by my own vaccinated indoor cat! been 4 months, used to weeks of amoxicillin and my finger still hurts/throbs when i try to squeeze something. the microbiota of the mouth of an elderly cat can be really dangerous.

I second that, I was attacked by a cat 15 years ago and went straight to A&E (ER) after, tetanus shot, antibiotics, painkiller etc. Still have the scars and a little bump on my finger - the bite went through the finger joint.

I've been bitten by cats so many times I can't count them and never had an inflammation or an infection. I know n=1. Let's just say, if you see or feel an infection, then get treatment.

Can vouch for this! Have a friend who was bitten by her own cat and ended having to have surgery on her hand because of it!

Any animal bite really. I got bitten by my own dog when he was choking. One hour later my hand was swollen like a balloon. I got IV antibiotics, take home antibiotics and my hand was still swollen for about a month, as the swelling slowly went down a bruise covering my entire hand popped up. The bite barely broke a skin and closed up by next day. Doggo was fine.

Do this for human bites as well if it properly breaks skin

I believe this because I have read it other places. But my personal reality is I have had cats draw blood many times over the years and it was never a problem. It's not that I actively ignore science. It's just that I've been bit a number of times when I didn't know this was a concern so I ignored it and lucky for me it all worked out fine.

There is even a song "Cat scratch fever"

My cat scratched me once, I put some tea tree oil on it, and it healed it! Have not been bitten by him......yet...

I’ve read the same for cat scratches. They dig around in urine and feces in litter boxes or the dirt in their attempts to be fastidious and clean.

Can confirm, my sister got bit by our cat (cause she tried to give him a bath and he freaked out) when she was in elementary school. She didn’t want to get in trouble so she hid it from everyone. She finally showed someone when she noticed red streaks up her arm and ended up in the hospital with blood poisoning. It was a scary situation for all of us.

Same is true for Dog bites. Bad critters live in animals mouths.

If it gets untreated, it can result in the nastiest biggest smelliest infection you would probably ever see.- I speak from experience

I got bit working at a vets too. I was holding a cat for Dr. Sowa and it bit my little finger like three times - chewed on it basically. It swelled up really bad but did get better on it's own - guess I was lucky. I was just a kid and no grownups were worried so...

In the mean time squeeze around the wound to make it bleed for a bit. That'll force a lot of the germs out. Then wash with soap, and water.

Human bites are very prone to infection- even getting teeth scrapes across knuckles from punching someone in the mouth, for example, get infected. But that pasteurella bacteria is very nasty. the only reason why my spouse doesn't want a cat.

Yup. Usually, it's better to be bitten by a dog than a cat because dogs typically tear the skin and this allows an exit for the bacteria as it flows out with the blood and other effluvia. Cats usually punch their teeth in and out creating a well or pocket for bacteria to pool in. I've been bitten by both when I worked at my grandfather's veterinary clinic and we always treat cat bites quite cautiously, even if they don't look like much. Best advice is to try not to be bitten at all by anything if you can help it! Bacteria exists in the mouths of every creature and it will cause you harm unless you properly clean it, get a health professional to look it over, and do both as quickly as possible! If you think the bite is painful, that's NOTHING compared to the wound becoming infected!

A bit extreme... Yes, it can happen. It depends on the situation, on how hard the cat has bitten you and on how healthy your immune system is. If you are bitten by an animal (or a human) wash and disinfect the wound properly. If you start to feel the area swells or gets red and feverish, then go to the doctor. There are extreme examples of every kind of accident, but that doesn't mean it's going to happen to you. A florist in my town got tetanus when she scratched her hand with some rose thorns. As most adults, she hadn't had an immunisation boost for years. So, my pieces of advice are: 1. Be careful but don't get paranoid. 2. If something looks or feels wrong, go to the doctor. Don't wait until you feel you are going to die. 3. Have your tetanus vaccines updated.

TRUTH!

Kids get "Cat Scratch Fever" alot. Makes Nugent's song even creepier.

Everyone please invest in topical antibiotic. You can buy it at any pharmacy, most grocery stores, and even at some dollar stores. The brand doesn’t matter, it will work no matter what. If you get ANY (I mean any!) cuts or scrapes simply wash them with soap and water, let them dry, then apply some topical antibiotic and a bandaid if needed. If it starts to swell and looks infected then go to a doctor. also just a tip, don’t buy the ones for kids as they are often diluted and may work worse.

Cat scratch fever is real and deadly

Can definitely confirm. Went to urgent care the next day for a bite on myself finger, I needed an IV of antibiotics.

I'm guessing dogs bites probably aren't good either since they eat poop.

I think this applies more to outdoor cats because they eat their caught prey and chew on other stuff

Can confirm. I tried this just for fun one time and it really does work!

I was taught to the beat of "staying alive "

If your body is telling you that it wants to hurl, it's quite possible there's something in your stomach that needs to be gotten rid of. Give in to the urge...

My face was glued following a dog attack 65 years ago. I have no scars.

Make sure you remove the redback first

In some instances all that is left is the carbon dioxide expelled by previous breathers.

That's how the Canadian natives fought scurvy during winter. It was also said that they saved new settlers by giving them white pine needle tea.

Also, if your poop is black and tarry, you could have an GI bleed.

where did the zig zag thing even come from?
