According to a study from the Center For Disease Control (CDC), approximately 4.5 million dog bites occur in the United States each year, and 800,000 of those bites result in the need for medical care.

Incidence: In the United States, approximately 250,000 human bites are treated each year

Don't think I've had frogs legs yet. Alligator was good and escargot is great but I'm a big fan of garlic.

Rattlesnake is pretty good and ostrich is amazing. I sure wouldn't recommend muskrat though.

Unless you are severely immunocompromised, you are extremely unlikely to die from septicemia from a human bite, but you can get a nasty cellulitis or abscess. I'll give a hint as to the pathogenicity of bacteria in the human mouth, one main species is Eikenella corrodens---the name says it all.

When I think of the things I've put in my mouth and put my mouth on I wouldn't wanna be bitten by me.

I'll take your word for it! But what about "cooties"?
(Eikenella Corrodens sounds like a Russian gymnast)

More like a Russian woman weightlifter! You know----380 lbs., probably with genotype XXY. Today, we would suspect transgender and let them compete anyway

I knew her in high school. Kingcova Konggoski. I thank my lucky stars she never made me be her boyfriend. Poor old Leonard still wakes up screaming in a cold sweat. No one alive knows what she would do with, or to, her boyfriends. 😨😰😱

I think you are addressing the wrong poster. Please refer to a previous post which began the subject. Pondboy... I believe.
