oh the irony

Have just been digging about some research papers (don't ask.. its a boring Friday at work   ) when I found this in an abstract, which although a serious issue made me laugh at the irony of it all.
the paper is to do with dangerous dogs and the impact of the DDA two years after implementation.

In both groups studied, human bites occurred as the second most common mammalian bite; 17.9 per cent in the pre-legislation group and 12.7 per cent in the post-legislation group. Human bites were as common as those from the most implicated breed of dog. In general human bites were found to require more active treatment and specialist referral. The study demonstrates the vast majority of such injuries are treated within Emergency departments

So let me get this right, bites from humans on humans are as common as the "type" dogs but the human bites needed more active treatment and specialist referral I also find it a little unnerving that so many people go about biting each other... zombie apocalypse  

  Fascinating reading,

 A tad scary that, though my dentist told me never bite anyone as you have teeth like a horse!!
Perhaps she knows more than she is letting on! 

Love bites gone wrong maybe?

Well there was that weird zombie dude a while ago who bit someone!

Hickeys, biting humans jees the worlds is getting worse.

Mad!
