Reply to comment by skinneyd in Humans are so violent, considering they are hairless, teethless, clawless, venomless monkeys. by -TheDerpinator-

Idk other animals are susceptible to infection but get bit and injured in the wild often and still survive and heal without any medical intervention. A human bite likely wouldn’t kill anything. Maybe a small rodent or bird. Also I’ve been bit by family members when young. It broke the skin and nothing happened. Probably depends on the individual who is biting you. A bite from a homeless guy for example could be worse.

Yeah that is in no way a common occurence. If the injury itself won't kill the animal, a predator will. Seeing an animal in the wild that has recovered from a serious injury is very rare.

Of course other animals have immune systems too, so they can fend off a minor infection without any medical intervention, as can we.

But oh boy, if those bacteria and pathogens enter the bloodstream? Without medical care that animal is a gonner, be it Human or any other animal.
