Animal Injuries You've Had

So what kind of injuries have you had with animals? Things like gnats don't really count but you can include them if you want!

I was thinking today that I've had far too many.

Obviously owning a cat I've been bitten and scratched by him.
Also been bitten by a ferret, gerbil, goat and horned frog.
Scratched by a puma kitten I raised for a short while.
Sprayed by a spotted skunk.
Been made ill by a poison dart frog (own fault.)
Stung by a British hornet.
At a conservation centre I worked at, a fossa I worked with nearly bite my finger off. Still have the scar.
Same day, same centre, a gibbon smacked me with a thorny branch.
A Brazilian tapir tackled me. Was merely annoying as I was cleaning poop.
A free-roaming exotic bird nearly had my eye at a zoo. I did keep making it land on my arm without any food so was deserved.

Yours? Ha.

Been kicked by, and thrown off a horse many a time, once it threw me off then trod on me.

Bitten Badly by a guinea pig - seriously they can bite and hold on !

Caught Campylobacter from a puppy - never been so ill in my life - I lost a stone in a week though

. I'd rather give birth than have that again !

I've never heard of Campylobacter. Is that serious?
