Getting bitten is one of those things that worries me alot. You can get some real serious stuff (ie-diseases) from getting bitten, as it breaks open your skin to allow in their saliva.

If you ever do get bitten hard enough to break open your skin, see a doctor right away for treatment. Also make sure the bad guy / girl gets charged with something similar to assault with a deadly weapon.

Absolutely...human bites can be the worst and must be treated according to blood-borne pathogen protocol. Get bitten, get thee to a doctor!
