Have you ever heard or seen something that initially seemed to be totally fine, until you saw just how truly dangerous it actually is?

What is a much bigger threat than initially presented?

    Cat.

    Yes, hello, I am here having my third ER visit.

    This was my hand on Saturday, one day after cat bite, and after two doses of antibiotics.

    In case you are like me, and have no sense of medical emergency, that is a serious infection.

    I have had two butt shots, an X-ray, five days out of ten of courses of two different antibiotics, and I just had a CT scan.

        I washed it thoroughly, cleaned it with hydrogen peroxide, applied Neosporin, bandaged it, then went to urgent care, where they prescribed me Augmentin. And even after all that, that’s how my hand looked the next day!
