What Causes Prickling Sensation In The Foot After A Cat Bite?
I had a cat bite about two weeks ago. Was very minor. no redness no swelling not even sore at the time. Was bitten while my foot was under a blanket and 2 quilts. Had a very small scab. Today my foot is painful but no redness or heat. I have pins and screws in said foot. Question how long would it take to have infection show up?
