John Oxford, a professor of bacteriology and virology at the University of London, said that dogs' nature is to sniff out dusty places such as corners and floors of rooms with their noses. The researchers found that almost all kinds of bacteria were detected in the dog's head, including the nose. Therefore, experts advise that when the dog sticks out its tongue and licks you, you should avoid it, don't kiss the dog, especially its head, and don't let the children at home kiss the dog. Pat the dog on the head or back to show closeness.

The bacterial pathogen of dog biting carbon dioxide bacteria exists in the saliva of healthy cats and dogs, which can lead to human infection with impaired immune system. A 20 14 study in Japan found that this bacterium exists in 69% of dogs and 54% of cats. Bacteria can infect humans by biting, licking the tongue and even approaching animals, and even penetrate into the skin without wounds or abrasions.
A study in France in 2003 showed that most people will not show any symptoms after infection, but people with impaired immune system will cause serious diseases. Dr Sylvia Mu? oz Price, an epidemiologist at Derette Hospital and Wisconsin Medical College, said the infection was extremely rare. Animal lovers need not panic: most people are more likely to die from traffic accidents than to be infected by this bacteria.
