Cat scratch fever?

Ted Nugent shouldn’t have been worried about a little cat scratch. What he and you should have been afraid of is a cat bite, especially one that draws blood because if it happens to you, it’s very important to call the ambulance immediately. Don’t drive yourself to the hospital and wait to get seen because a staph infection has likely already begun, then there’s the potential for rabies and tetanus. If you’re like me, a cat owner, don’t think that just because it’s your baby kitty that you are fine, even if it’s an indoor cat. Any time a cat bite pierces the skin, you are in danger of infection . Best to air on the side of caution and act immediately.
