A dog can bite you and you'll be fine, aside from the actual wound trauma. Dog saliva is actually antiseptic. That's why dogs lick their wounds, and why that's a saying in the first place. If you have an injury and your dog licks it, it will actually help it heal. Not making that up, dog spit heals injuries. The mouth of a cat, on the other hand, is septic. Even to other cats. Friend of mine brought a kitten into her house, one of her senior cats bit it in the leg, the thing almost lost his leg from infection. I mean i dont have anything but anecdotal evidence but my cat probly bleeds me at least once a day going back a year. that sounds bad but he is very gentle hes just strong and got some pointies. He wont ever goes claws out on anyone else and he holds back a ton on me too.... but seriously lyme disease is a genuine risk and i still hike all the time and take basic precautions. Cat scratch fever is way less likely than lyme from a tick (given the prevelance of cat owners vs outdoors types) and im pretty sure basic precautions with either will keep you safe. Ill stop rough housing with my cat the day i stop going into the bush. And ill stop going into the bush the day i stop crossing the road cause of cars. --- "Goddamn em all... i was told we'd cruise the seas for american gold" ~ stan rogers https://files.catbox.moe/gqwlkg.jpeg ~ by JimCarrysToe.
