A bite is a [[wound]] received from the [[mouth]] (and in particular, the [[teeth]]) of an [[animal]] or person. Most [[animal]] bites are from dogs or cats, and the pathogens in the wound are composed by the normal oral flora of the biting animal and human [[skin flora]].

Animals may bite in self-defense, in an attempt to predate food, as well as part of normal interactions. Other bite attacks may be apparently unprovoked, especially in the case of bites committed by psychologically or emotionally disturbed humans. Some disorders such as [[Lesch-Nyhan syndrome]] may cause people to bite themselves.
 
Bite wounds can be very complex and it is important to address the following aspects:
 
* Generalized tissue damage due to tearing and scratching.
* Serious [[hemorrhage]] if major blood vessels are pierced.
* [[Infection]] by [[bacterium|bacteria]] or other [[pathogen]]s, including [[rabies]].
* Introduction of [[Venom (poison)|venom]] into the wound by venomous animals such as some [[Snake bite|snakes]].
* Introduction of other irritants into the wound, causing [[inflammation]] and [[itching]].
 
==Common Pathogens==
Almost every bite would have a polimicrobial contamination, especially with [[bacteria]].  Some bites have characteristic pathogens associated to the oral flora of the animal that bit.

==Treatment==
*All bite [[wounds]] should be cleaned profusely with iodide soap and water.
*Bites are contaminated by a polimicrobial flora and antibiotic prophylaxis treatment is recommended to avoid subsequent infection.
*The [[route of administration]] depends on the depth and severity of the [[wound]], as well as the time that has passed since the bite.

==Vaccination==
===Tetanus Prophylaxis===
===Rabies Prophylaxis===
Animal bites inflicted by [[carnivore]]s (except rodents) are considered possible cases of [[rabies]]. The animal is caught alive or dead with its head preserved, so the head can later be analyzed to detect the disease.
If the animal lives for ten days and does not develop [[rabies]], then it is probable that no [[rabies]] infection has occurred.
If the animal is gone, prophylactic [[rabies treatment]] is recommended.
Signs of animal [[rabies]] include:
* Foaming at the mouth
* Self-mutilation
* Growling
* Jerky behavior
* Red eyes.
