My sister had a quarrel with another woman who bit her on the hand. Although we applied some first aid to the wound, I was told that my sister should go to the hospital for treatment because human bites are dangerous. Is this true?

It is not that human bites are dangerous. It is only important that all forms of bite wounds must be well treated to avoid infection particularly, tetanus infection. In view of this, it is important for your sister to go to the hospital for a Tetanus shot as well as antibiotics cover including adequate treatment of the wound.
