How does cat scratch disease affect the human body?
Except for the swelling of my left hand [a circle of 2 inches around the bite mark] I did not associate my flue like symptoms to the CSD.. 2 days now, mostly in bed with light fever, all my upper bones hurt, I just want to drink warm milk...I re-opened the bite, and press as hard as possible to drain any liquid, which decreased the inflammation. I wash my hand and put tee tree oil on the bite..and reapply as often as possible. If I have to meet people, I put Lavender oil..the smell is a lot better..
you mean cat scatch fever? ...you get a bad fever and it swells where you were scrtched but thats all I know.
