[QUOTE="alisonb, post: 809561, member: 13050"] Howdyjabo - No, it's not the same thing. The cat scratch disease is caused by the bacteria Bartonella (something, would have to look it up). The symptoms only start appearing after a couple of weeks of the cat bite/scratch usually by way of the lymph nodes. In my brother's case (the cat that bit him had an infected wound to make matters worse) it was more like a localised infection in the hand with many many different bacteria pesent. The wound then started festering and had to be cut open and cleaned before the infection started spreading. They say that the hand does not have much blood circulation and that's why one picks up so many complications after a cat bite. I suppose this is why your bee sting swelled so much? Yikes!!! I bet you were happy :shock: . Thanks for the well wishes. [/QUOTE]
