BACTERIA IN DOGS SALIVA CAUSE DEATH IN HUMANS 
Dogs are man’s best friend, but recent reports served as a reminder that they carry bacteria in their saliva that can cause disease, and even death, in humans.

In June, a man in West Bend, Wisconsin, had both hands and lower legs amputated after being infected with the bacterium Capnocytophaga canimorsus, possibly through contact with a dog, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel . Two other recent cases were reported in Wisconsin, according to the paper: a boy aged 3 years who had his fingers and toes amputated after being exposed to C. canimorsus, and a woman who was bitten by her dog and developed rapidly progressing influenza-like symptoms that resulted in her death.

Dog bites have long been associated with illness. RABIES remains responsible for about 60,000 Human Death annually, mostly in developing countries. A range of other disease-causing organisms are also known to be transmitted from dogs to humans. Close relationships with our dogs might enhance the transmission of nasties, either DIRECT FROM THE DOGS,OR FORM OF CONTAMINATED ENVIRONMENTES. For example, SALMONELLAcauses severe gastrointestinal symptoms and can be acquired by exposure to infected faecal matter

We cannot ignore the fact that we also transmit pathogens to our dogs. ZOONOTIC DISEASES. are those that can be spread from humans to animals and back again. Studies have demonstrated that dogs can carry MULTI DRUG RESISTANT STRAINS OF BACTERIA. many of which have probably been transmitted to them by humans. We have a responsibility for minimising infection risk – yes from our dogs but also to our dogs.

So, should you worry about your dogs’ deadly saliva..

The contemporary history of the world's favourite game spans more than 100 years. It all began in 1863 in England, when rugby football and association football branched off on their different courses and the Football Association in England was formed - becoming the sport's first governing body. The most admitted story tells that the game was developed in England in the 12th century. In this century games that resembled football were played on meadows and roads in England. Besides from kicks, the game involved also punches of the ball with the fist. This early form of football was also much more rough and more violent than the modern way of playing. An important feature of the forerunners to football was that the games involved plenty of people and took place over large areas in towns (an equivalent was played in Florence from the 16th century where it was called Calcio). The rampage of these games would cause damage on the town and sometimes death. These would be among the
