Please help. 10 points for best answer?!
Question: I was playing football and i was in the oppenents teams box. A player crossed the ball and i jumped towards it, the oppenents goal keeper also jumped towards the ball. We banged into each other and his teeth cut my arm. Could i get a disease if his saliva went into the cut?

No. Your immune is too strong for human spit it affect it. if your worring about getting Aids or some sort of disease like that, you have no need to worry either...diseases like that can only be transmitted through sex or blood etc...
It'll proberly make you more immune to bacteria and stuff like that..dont worry
You could, but your more likely to need a tetanus booster if you haven't had one recently...
No you can't
no, unless he had diseases in his saliva.
only if he has an ilness i beleive// any itching or infection go see a doctor// clean the wound a lot//
Well you could but i wouldn't worry about it honestly unless he has aids or something, ive done that lots and saliva isn't that scary of a thing.
Rabies, leprosy, anal bleeding....you don't want that.
best cut it off now don't you think?
It is not very likely. Unless this guy has some strange infection within his endocrine system, it will more than likely do no harm. Washing it out right after it happened would also have prevented anything from spreading. I would not worry about it. Unless, obviously, you see something wrong. But I'm sure you're fine.
It's highly unlikely!! so who won the ball? Now I want to play footy, :-(.
It would be worth getting a nurse to have a look at it, make sure you have cleaned it well out. The chances of getting a disease are small, but the human mouth contains some very nasty bacteria as it is a first line of defence from organisms gaining entry to our bodies through the oral cavity.
No it's just a bite mark babies do it all the time, dont they ?
Its extremely unlikly but there is an extremely small chance.
its probably 1/1million chance you would catch anything.
you could if he is possibly sick but other then that i dont think so but i would check with a docter
You shud of had a tetus already, it covers you for 10yrs, if you havent then you may need to get one asap, it is unlikely he has a dieses but if he does it cud cause infection but to be on the safe side contact your G.P
I hope you kicked his *** - at football tht it!!
xx
Not likely.If you kissed your girlfriend would you expect to get a disease.Dont worry,saliva is quite inactive.
Yes, it is possible for bacteria to enter broken skin via saliva. Talk to your GP about blood tests if you are worried.
The above answerer is not entirely correct since HIV can be transmitted during 'exchange' of bodily fluids, however the likelihood is infinitesimally small.
I'm not sure, but if I was worried about it I would go get it checked out. Other people's saliva freaks me out as it is. Be sure to clean it every so often just to be on the safe side. I'm sure you'll be fine. Take care!
Don't be silly- and don't worry so much lol x
no unless he had a disease and thats a dumb question
Definitely, YES! When this happens immediately get antiseptic on the wound and your chances of disease are minimised. I put a drop of it on a band-aid and let it soak in.
you cant get a disease but it could get infected so go to your local GP and they will give you some disinfectant for your arm.
i would be more worried about wanting to play football, 22 blokes kicking a bag of wind round a field ,then cudling and kissing each other when one scores a goal, is this normal ?
i found this info for you - check out #4 - that's what you're looking for:
When you have a bite:
1. Stop the bleeding.
2. Determine whether other tissues, such as blood vessels, nerves, tendons, ligaments, joints, bones, or internal organs, have been injured.
3. Determine whether evaluation and treatment by a doctor are needed.
4. Clean the wound to prevent bacterial infections, tetanus ("lockjaw"), and viral infections, such as herpes simplex virus, and cytomegalovirus (CMV).
5. Determine the risk for rabies and the need for treatment to prevent the disease.
6. Determine whether you need a tetanus shot.
hope this helps! good luck! :)
i think you might need a tetanus injection, blue
its like a chance of 1 to a million and thats only if he had a disease...
