We've all heard that thing about cat's mouths being much cleaner than ours but if you're ever bitten by a cat and it breaks the skin you will probably need antibiotics, lots of people don’t realize that

I have seen cases where it also applies to cat scratches.

But that is not true, I mean, maybe the cat does not generate tartar or dental plaque, but obviously, it has many bacteria that protect its mouth and when they bite us we can contract different diseases.

Many people with "animal knowledge" say that, but it is not like that, just like us, the mouths of animals are full of toxins that come out of their stomachs and we can easily get sick from them, as well as the other way around.

Once a patient came with a peculiar smell of mint in his mouth, it turns out that the person brushed the dog's teeth every day, 2 times a day, obviously he was doing him harm and his response was that he had a bad smell coming from his mouth.

Animals have their own defense mechanism to protect their mouths, therefore it may be cleaner than ours, but that is not why you will share food already tasted by your pet or vice versa, these are delicate things that must be properly controlled.

In the past, many fingers were amputated due to cat bites, this happened because the degree of infection that a cat bite can cause was not known, and even more so if they are not properly vaccinated. Despite this, people continue to take the slightest cat bites, really, in addition to being veterinarians, we must be parents and teachers of people.

During a cat bite, there is an injection of bacteria into the bowels of our body, these bacteria lodge deep within us and manage to develop creating infections that are difficult to detect.
