Bite

A bite is a wound received from the mouth of an animal.

Bite wounds raise a number of issues from the viewpoint of medicine in addition to the physical wounds they leave, including the possibility of:

• poison
• infection by bacteria or other pathogens; and
• rabies

The most frequent animal implicated in bite attacks that require medical treatment is Homo sapiens.

Bite is an EP by a crusty british band Ned's Atomic Dustbin.
