ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Although squirrel bites are uncommon and generally benign, they have been implicated in the transmission of certain diseases in humans, some of which can be life-threatening. This report discusses the case of a 27-year-old hunter who developed a necrotizing soft tissue infection with vesiculo-bullous skin lesions after a ground squirrel bite.
