You need to treat any animal bite seriously.

I had to convince a coworker to go to the ER to have a cat bite looked at, and she ended up spending a couple of days in the ICU with the doctor being clear that delaying treatment another few days would have been fatal.

This one covers several things but is basically motivated by spreading the bad news about the seriousness of cat bites, as made clear by the alt text.

That alt text doesn't seem to be about rabies, is it something else? Would have been nice to know that and yes the red flags also, haha.

Knowing that stuff like this happens really makes you appreciate how humanity managed to survive this long. If thrown into the preindustrial past, I would miss temperature control, refrigeration, and the Internet MUCH less than vaccines, antibiotics, and OTC pain relievers.

yeah cat bites are bad. Cats tend to not bite though without giving warning fortunately
