Treatment For A Human Bite by muzzafar(m): 12:35am On Apr 02, 2016
This is an emergency and i need the advice of Nairaland Medics.

We are waiting for the engineer to fix our engine boat which we must use to transport back to PHCity we are stranded in an ireland called 'jigama' in Rivers state.
We came here from PHCity in a group of 6men to buy the waste product of locally refined crude. We have finished loading the drums into our boat but our engine developed a fault .

As we were chatting an arguement broke out between Amangi and I , and this turned to a fight which Amangi used his teeth to bite me so deep into my chest, blood came out.

Now we have settled the fight 5hours ago but its now clear that we are not going today because we have to replace a part of the engine and because that spare part cant be bought here in jigama we have to wait till tomorow.

Plz doctors in the house how poisonous is the human teeth? There are no hospital here in jigama

if i dont treat this wound in the next 24 hours what will be the implication?

As long as the bleeding has stopped just clean with Methylated spirit and apply plaster/bandage, to avoid infection since you said the wound is deep.

Get Tetanus Toxoid injection, pain relief medications (even paracetamol should be okay if that's all you can find) and antibiotics.

See a doctor as soon as you can.

Human bites are generally not poisonous so there's no need for fear.
