Uh-oh!
Indeed. Step forward Capnocytophaga canimorsus.
This is why I always love it when dog owners bring their pets into supermarkets and coffee shops. Because yes, Capno is – as it states above – rare. But there are numerous other more common (but ok, potentially less serious) bacteria, viruses and parasites that your friendly neighbourhood pooch is carrying around with them, right next to you as you’re having your breakfast or buying your food.
(And don’t even get me started on cats…)
Nice.
