Human: What should I do if I'm bitten by an animal? Assistant: 
If you are bitten by an animal, seek medical attention immediately. Wash the wound with soap and water to remove any bacteria or dirt. Apply a clean bandage over the bite and keep it dry. Monitor your health closely for signs of infection such as fever, chills, swelling, redness, pain, or pus around the bite site. Seek medical care if these symptoms develop.
