My friend bit me, what do I do?
he bit me sort of on the shoulder, twice, and i think he broke the skin. It hurts so much. He was drunk. What should I do, do I need to get it looked at?
I've heard bites from humans are dangerous because of the bacteria in their mouth. Thats the only reason I'm a little worried.

If he does it again they have to put him down...he should be put on the dangerous animal list.
Seriously though, just take care of the cut and be sure you keep it clean by washing and with an antiseptic.

If the skin is broken, it should bleed, you should be able to tell!
Disinfect it first, and yes it's potentially dangerous, the streptococci in the human mouth are the same as flesh eating bacteria! Don't panic, though, it rarely causes so terrible things, but you may need some antibiotics. If it's not bleeding, then you have nothing to worry about, you'll have a bruise for a while and that's all.
And kick that friend in the shins please, he sounds like a jerk.

haha this is like the 5th thing i've read about people biting each other... unless he had rabies, you don't need to go to the doctor. just put some ointment on it and let it heal.

if it looks infected then yes go get it checked out. if it looks just bruised its probably fine.
i knew these two guys that got in a fight and one bit the other on the chest and it got infected and he had to go to the doctor, it was disgusting looking so just keep checking on it.
