Human Bite? how infectious is it?!


Question:

Human Bite? how infectious is it?

I had a human bite from a friendly brawl (fight) with my friend over the right ribs. there was some blood (may be 2 drops) and two marks of bite ie teeth, but after 12 hours now there is no swelling, but light pain.
do i need to go to doctor, will it turn into infection. Do i need tetanus shot?

and the teeth did not come in direct contact with my skin. I had my cotton polo shirt so i guess its not that serious as there is no direct contact with the teeth which can have bacteria to cause infecitons.

What are your thoughts ??


Answers:

Well, as long as he's not a zombie I would think you'd be okay. OR a vampire, but then again he probably would have bitten your neck.
