Bitten by lion - GP?

[BittenByLion]

Long story short, I’ve just got back from abroad and while I was there I got bitten by a lion. It’s not a serious bite but it did break the skin. The bite was on Monday, it’s healing nicely and there’s no sign of infection but do I need to do anything? Tetanus jab etc.? I gave it a wash at the time but haven’t had any medical attention.

NC’ed cos this is pretty identifying but I’ve been here yonks. Poo on the pouffe, garlic thread worms, pan pipe elf mum, minge etc.

Oh well that's unusual. I'd be concerned about rabies too...(sorry)

If you can get a tiger to lick the wound then the enzymes will help the healing process.

I heard weeing on a lion bite works?

Did it show ANY signs of being radioactive?

How can a lion bite not be serious? They have such sharp teeth... I’d expect a missing limb at least.

Alright you lot! I know it’s daft, although the ranger did say that giraffe saliva is pretty good for wounds.

I hadn’t thought of rabies. I’ll give 111 a call.

What Lord prof said, tbh I would have thought a lion bite would be followed by being eaten.

How big was the lion?

@LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD it was just playing and its teeth got caught in my sleeve.

I think you’ll at least need a tetanus booster.

Baby lion, about the size of a house cat.

How does one reach a giraffes mouth, and how does one convince it to spit on/lick you?

Fucking hell, if this is real suspect notwhat an amazing story for the Grandkids!

It was a kitty! I bet it was gorgeous. Any photos? (Kitty not bite).

Lion caught in the act.

strikeout fail

OMG!! Well we have lots of lions and tigers and bears (and foxes) in Thighland proceed this way forward and you'll never look back:

As you were! :-D

Have you tried some turmeric or silver?

For the love of God. Pleass records the conversation with 111

"Hello 111 your talking to Trudy how may I help you?"

"Hello yes, I've been bitten by a lion. What's your protocol?"

You can hand feed giraffes in Santa Barbara zoo.... if that's any help

So cute!

I’ll avoid posting the photo multiple times. Hopefully it will load later. Will get on to 111 now.

Holy shit I thought this was a pisstake, thus my post ha

Why were you handling a lion cub? What had happened to its parents?

I'd go and get it checked out anyway.

Felines have a cocktail of revolting germs in their mouths and an infected bite is dangerous, possibly lethal.
