Update on Iguana Bite...

Posted by Kim R on February 26, 2002 at 17:36:30:

I want to thank everyone for your information and concern. Mr. D Yes after I posted my first message I cleaned the wound again, and yep I found a tooth. I cleaned and soaked it for a while, the swelling and pain was killing me. So I decided to go to the doctors, I was his first Iguana bite patient.lol Big surprise in New Hampshire. He said it seems like it may already have started getting infected, so he gave me a tetnis and put me on Keflex 500mg 4 times a day for ten days. He said if it is getting worse in 4 days call him back. I told him about this forum, and said someone probably knows what bacteria comes with an iguana bite. But he didn't have access to the internet right there...lol. So I will let him know all the information all you great folks sent me, if there is any problems with this antibitotic.

I will also try to post a picture tonight of my thumb...looks really bad in person, but I will see what I can do.

Best Regards
Thank you
Kim R
