		Bites to the hand, whether from cats or dogs, are potentially dangerous because of the structure of the hand.
		Bites to the hand need special attention; if pasteurellosis develops in the tissues of the hand, the bacteria can infect tendons or even bones and sometimes cause permanent damage if appropriate medical care is not administered promptly.

		Their distribution depends on the bite site (eg, face, neck, hands, arms, lower legs, generalized); however, they often are present on the face upon awakening in the morning.
		Bites are often noted in linear groups of 3, sometimes called "breakfast, lunch, and dinner," evident as erythematous papules, sometimes with a prominent urticarial component in predisposed individuals.
		Theoretically, failure to diagnose bedbug bites puts a patient at increased risk of hepatitis B or some other infection; because bedbugs may transmit disease, the physician may be at medicolegal risk if the patient develops any such infection.

		The primary concern with human bites of the hand is infection, which can be severe because of spread along tendon sheaths and deep into the hand.
		Seeking consult for a bite that violates cartilage in these areas also is prudent because of poor blood supply to cartilage and difficulties in treating chondritis.
		Bite wounds to well-vascularized areas such as the face that can be cleansed adequately usually may be sutured primarily.

	Human Bites
		Intentional bite injury: This generally happens during fights and can result in a whole range of injuries from minor bruising to partial loss of body parts (for example, ears or nose).
		Seemingly intentional bites: Some bites may not be easy to classify as intentional because there is not a conscious decision on the part of the biter.
		For example, it is not a good idea to bite your nails because this can lead to an infection known as paronychia or a hangnail.

		Although constrictors are not poisonous, both their bites and the bites of poisonous and non-poisonous snakes can cause infections, including tetanus.

	Amazon.com: Bites: Music: Skinny Puppy (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Bites is a reminder that all music can weave together and be blissfull amongst eachother.
		Skinny Puppy's music was a force to be reckoned with in the 1980's "Industrial" music scene, where the band's approach was to overwhelm the listener with a barrage of an intensely layered soundscape of sampled dialogue, tortured vocals, and punishing clamor.
		The current release of BITES pulls together nearly all the stray tracks from these various reconfigurations onto a single disc, perhaps diluting it's initial cohesive statement in the process.
