My child was bitten by another at the day care centre. Does that happen frequently?
Even with every precaution, injuries still happen in day care centres. By nature, children are very active, and some may be aggressive or anxious. They may push, shove or even bite another child in the playroom.
Children in day care centres often bite, but most bites are harmless and don't break the skin. Surveys have shown that up to half of all children in day care centres were bitten during a one-year period. Most bites happened in September at the beginning of the day care year.
Toddlers (age 13 to 24 months) were bitten most frequently. Bites were most often to the arms and the face. Only one bite in 50 (2%) broke the skin. No child had to be taken to the doctor because of a bite.
Is there a risk that the bite wound might become infected?
Only rarely do wounds from human bites become infected, and these infections usually result from fights among adults. Severe bites are unusual in day care centres and almost never lead to bacterial infections.
