Bruising.: Besides the wounds from a bite, there is also bruising from the pressure from the chomping of the jaw muscles. Bites can be serious: it depends on "Who, What, and Where!" What kind of animal bit you, Where on your body the bite is located, and the health of the biter and the bitee. Make sure tetanus immunization is up to date, clean thoroughly, flush with water for several minutes and tell us more
