Dog saliva is known to have toxic bacteria. Only kum gong siao lang owners would let their dogs lick their face, mouth, and worse their wounds, LOL
Potentially Harmful Bacteria:
- Capnocytophaga canimorsus: This bacterium is the primary cause of dog bite-related infections in humans, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems. It can lead to severe sepsis and even death.
- Pasteurella multocida: This bacterium can cause skin and soft tissue infections, pneumonia, and meningitis in humans.
- Porphyromonas gulae: This bacterium is associated with periodontal disease in both dogs and humans.
- Escherichia coli (E. coli): While most strains of E. coli are harmless, some can cause diarrhea and other gastrointestinal problems.
