Most human bite wounds are sustained on the upper extremities, the face and neck, trunk, and lower extremities. However, direct bites to the globe are rare. Human bites are particularly notorious for their tendency to cause infection at the site of the bite injury and to pose a potential risk for the transmission of systemic infections. Patients may present with abrasion, laceration, deep wound, pain, swelling, redness, warmth, and pus draining from the bite wound along with fever, night sweats, or chills
