If you get bitten and it's deep, get an antibiotic shot within 90 minutes. That will get the bacteria before it has a chance. Probably going the next day to the doctor was wasted. Most cases I've seen, the reaction starts happening that night. If it's a light wound, washing it out with peroxide, etc.. is a good thing. Soaking it in an Epson salt solution is an additional step that helps greatly. Tends to suck any bad stuff out of the wound. Well, too late for advice on the current wound, but some tips.

Not only can you get nasty systemic infections but the bones can get infected too. Anytime a cat bites you and breaks the skin flush it out immediately with water for a long, long time. Follow it up with peroxide or something strong and disinfecting. Bill, you have to be careful with cat bites, especially on the fingers.

I had a friend that got it and, Ted Nugent jokes aside, it sucked mightily. Cat Scratch Fever is a real disease and nothing to be triffled with.
