bite

[bīt] 1. seizure with the teeth.2. a wound or puncture made by a living organism; see also at the name of the organism, such as insect bites and stings, spider bite, and snakebite.3. an impression made by closure of the teeth upon some plastic material, such as wax.occlusion (def. 2).Animal Bite. Any animal bite that breaks the skin should be treated rapidly and with care. The wound should be washed at once with warm, soapy water and the victim taken to an emergency medical facility. Potential complications of an animal bite include tetanus, rabies, septicemia, and bone and muscle infections. Every effort should be made to catch an animal that has bitten someone, so that it may be confined and examined by the health department for signs of rabies. Whenever possible it should be caught alive because evidence of rabies disappears rapidly after death. If the animal is not caught, the bitten person is given antirabies treatment immediately.Human Bite. Any human bite that penetrates the skin should be considered dangerous because a human bite can be contaminated with both aerobic and anaerobic organisms. The wound should be washed immediately with soap and water and a health care provider should be consulted. Antimicrobial therapy may be needed as there is a serious danger of infection, a danger that is more serious with human bites than with animal bites since many of the organisms carried by animals do not affect humans.over-bite overbite.stork b's see stork bites.

Patient discussion about bite

Q. does mosquito bites considered as an edema a bet with a friend- please help solve an issue an help me win a new I pod :)A. (don't take the mini i-pod, it sucks). it's true-the mosquito has a number of proteins and materials in his saliva that works as anticoagulants and vasodilators (blood vessel broadening). these causes the bite area to start an immune reaction and one of the consequences is an edema-"an increase of interstitial fluid in any organ", that means fluids are exiting blood system. in this case- not too much...

Q. What is this mosquito bite that became a rash?? I was bitten by a mosquito a few hours ago and the bite turned in to a red rash that spreaded all over my body. It's already starting to disappear but I would really like to know what was it! If you have any ideas...please share with me...A. What you describe may be urticaria (hives). It's a kind of allergic reaction to many stimuli, including drugs, infections, foods etc, and in your case-insect bite. The rash is red-pink and elevated above the normal skin level, and lesions come and go in a matter of hours, an eventually disappears. There may also be a feeling of itching.

Q. an insect bite seems infected and is bleeding... the area under the skin is hard and sore... when pressed it bleeds quite a bitA. It sounds like you have cellulitis around the area of the bite, and you should see a doctor to decide whether or not this requires antibiotics.
