Don't let your cat bite you. I just got home from a week in the hospital due to the tiniest bite you can hardly see. My arm is still swollen twice the size of the other one, and it's red and sore. I ended up calling EMS to get me up and to the hospital. Admittedly, it's worse for people with transplants (me) due to lowered immune system, but even so, "regular" people can be VERY sick. Heard about one guy, otherwise healthy, off work 4 months.
