AB Animal  bites  are  a  common  occurrence,  with  approximately  half  of  all  Americans  reporting  an  animal  bite  at  some  point  in  their  life.  In  the  United  States,  nearly  all  (80–90%)  animal  bites  are  by  dogs,  and  therefore  national  surveillance  is  largely  based  on  these  injuries.  Cat  (5–10%)  and  human  (2–3%)  bites  account  for  most  of  the  rest.1
