Common injuries from dog bites include lacerations, puncture wounds, infections, and, in severe cases, nerve and tissue damage. These injuries can require medical treatment and may result in scarring. Long-term physical effects can include reduced mobility or function in the affected area, while psychological effects often involve anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and a persistent fear of dogs. Bite victims, particularly children, may require both medical and psychological interventions to fully recover and overcome the trauma associated with the incident.
