Animal bites usually result from an fortunate altercation with a household pet,especially a dog or cat-putting especially children at risk.In fact,wild animals account for only 5 percent of animal bites each year.Most bites,if washed and treated properly,will heal and leave you with no more than a sour memory,but if neglected,they can cause skin inflection or more serious disease like tetanus or rabbies.Household pets should be given their shots and children should be tought to avoid stranger's animal. *Preventing cat scratch fever Even tough household felines appear cute and cuddly,40 percent of cats carry the bacteria at some point in their lives that can causes cat scratch fever.They can infect you through a scratch or bite,or even licking your open wound,since the B.henselae bacteria is carried in cat saliva.most people will recover naturally from cat scratch fever but some may need antibiotics. * Preventing parrot fever Parrot fever is not common,usually infects those who work in a turkey -processing plant or have some other daily contact with birds including parrots,parakeets,macaws,cockatiels,lovebirds,pigeon or doves.People become infected when they inhale bird remnants,including shed feathers or dust from dried bird droppings.The symptons don't arise immediately, and if left untreated a serious case of parrot fever can lead to pneumonia or affect the liver.Antibiotics usually do job.

I am such an animal lover that I will die for them. I don't care what they carry- I will love them anyways. My babies are kept inside at all times and vet visits as often as needed. I think this post is a little harsh telling people to stay away from animals
