Capnocytophaga Canimorsus
This one’s really bad. How bad? Let’s put it this way – I’m easing you into it with some text before I drop the picture on you.
This man was told by his doctor that his capnocytophaga canimorsus infection was caused by a dog licking his open wound.

His feet were even worse. One had to be partially amputated.
We’ll skip those photos.
Are you going to catch a disease from your dog that leaves you with one foot and disfigured hands? Probably not.
But are you going to take the chance?
Seriously, avoid those kisses.
