		Much of the medical literature about the incidence and management of bite wound infections is based on small studies and case reports, which are prone to selection bias because of the fact that 80% of persons with bite wounds do not seek medical attention.
		Bite wounds may be initially cleaned with soap and water; subsequently, all wounds should be copiously irrigated with normal saline or lactated Ringer's solution under high pressure with an 18- or 19-gauge needle or catheter tip and large syringe.
		For bite wounds in anatomic regions where there are significant cosmetic concerns, such as the face, a primary closure approach by a plastic surgeon or other expert is often undertaken to prevent significant scarring (15).
