Human bites are very dangerous.

This danger lies not so much in the teeth, but in the saliva.

It is highly pathogenic because of its many particularly pathogenic germs.

Human bites , compared to animal bites, cause an infection much more often.

For example, a dog bite may be more obvious on the outside, such as by shredding larger areas of skin. However, infections occur in dog bites in only 10-20% of cases. For human bites, on the other hand, the risk is 45 to 55 percent.

Since human teeth are very strong but not so sharp, you can injure internal, under-skin structures ( such as tendons) without breaking the skin.

Also, a human biting you can pass on diseases such as 'hepatitis.

With such a bite you definitely need to see a doctor.

However a very high percentage of human bites happen during sex and not during fights
