Sometimes playing with cats can result in scratches.
Some people are used to not paying attention to them and continue doing their own thing. But this is a big mistake.
The fact is that such injuries can threaten health and even life.
Therapist Pavel Ramensky spoke about this in more detail, writes NEWS.ru.
As the specialist noted, scratches can provoke sepsis because cats’ claws contain Pasteurella multocida and other bacteria.
Therefore, you should not touch unfamiliar animals that are in a stressful state. You should not allow games with them that can lead to scratches.
If an injury does occur, it must be treated immediately. You can use available pharmacy products for this, such as iodine or hydrogen peroxide.
If the wound becomes inflamed, you should consult a doctor.
