I was bit by a Monkey today!!!!!!!

[Miss Kitty]

I googled animal bites. Apparently even if an animal's vaccinations are current, their saliva contains bacteria that can cause infections. You need to be on an antibiotic. Here is a list of pathogens in a primate's mouth:

• Bacteroides species
• Fusobacterium species
• Eikenella corrodens
• Streptococcus species
• Enterococcus species
• Staphylococcus species
• Enterobacteriaceae
• Simian herpes virus

There Van Goes your ear. :leaving:

Now that is a good one

KDW ... what a story! I don't know what to say except

All that's ever bitten me is a bunny rabbit. After you get the antibiotics to make sure your fingers don't fall off, well, you have an amazing story there!! Definitely worth a couple of beers at cocktail hour at the beach.

Aren't monkey brains considered a delicacy somewhere? I love animals, but for some reason monkeys give me the heebeejeebies. Probably because when I was a kid we went to Jungle Habitat in the days of vinyl roof cars. All I remember were monkeys all over our car-- peeling apart the roof and screaming. (Jungle Habitat closed soon after) Bless your heart for not turning it into a dashboard stuffy and feel better.

Japan. They strap them into high chairs and serve the brains while the monkey is still alive.

All that's ever bitten me are poodles. Our two miniatures would accidentally bite me while trying to separate them when they fought because they were jealous of each other. Pepper doesn't like it when I watch Gator games and bit me during the Florida/GA football game.

Well, you ARE always saying bite me.

Seriously, I'd go to the doctor just to be sure.

Monkey Herpes??? Call the doc for sure..........glad you're ok!!!! Maybe you have a headachethis AM from the wine and a little bite??

Spank him, shock him or both. Go to the doctor for sure. The doctor will have to report it to the county health department. The monkey will probably have to be quarantined. The health department is probably going to want to pay the owner a visit and have a look at the monkey. As long has the monkey has had its shots and it's a house monkey then home quarantine may be an option. Anyway that's not your problem.

all the men would come around and lay their monkey down~~~~~

[NoHall]

How's the marmoset? Did it die of food poisoning yet?

I'm sorry you got bit, but this has been a funn thread!

KDW, now you can use yhis as an excuse for your husband to get you some new earings. Now that the holes are already there, let him know you want those diamond studs.
