prevention & protection From CSD
- Limit exposure by avoiding "rough play" with cats, especially kittens which may be more likely to carry the Bartonella Henselae bacteria. This includes any activity that may lead to cat scratches and bites.
- If you do play with a cat or kitten, wash thoroughly afterwards with soap and water.
- If you are bitten or scratched by any animal tell a doctor or adult (if you are a kid).
