The description of the problem: You should not worry if any animal has scretched you. Since skin-deep scretches are not usually serious. But if the wound is deep or an infection ensues you have to think about proper treatment as sometimes it may end with complications.
Deep cat scratches can cause an illness called cat-scratch fever. This infection inflames the wound and causes typical flu-like symptoms within about two weeks of the scratch. The disease will resolve itself.
The main danger is to get rabies or tetanus as both of the diseases are life-threatening. Both human and animal bites often cause local bacterial infections. And bacterial infections causes lymphangitis and ultimately to blood poisoning if the infection spreads. Essential oils used for treatment: Bergamot Oil, Chamomile Oil, Lavender Oil, Lemon Oil, Tea Tree Oil.(Karooch Essential Oils) Safety Issues: If reddening, pain and itch do not cease or you suffer from fever, consult a doctor. In such a case you may need some special medicine or be sent into a hospital.
