What Is Cat Scratch?
Claws or teeth can break the skin. Most heal on their own, but cat scratches can become infected, and animal bites and scratches also carry a small risk of rabies in Turkey.
Symptoms of Cat Scratch
- Warmth, pus or a red streak spreading
- Swelling and redness around the scratch
- Mild pain or itching
- Swollen glands near the scratch after a few days
- Red scratch marks on the skin
Why Cat Scratch Happens
Scratches or bites from a stray or pet cat. Bacteria on the claws and teeth can get into the skin, and cats may carry cat scratch disease.
Torba: Local Notes for Cat Scratch
In Torba the typical health problems come from too much sun, too little water and food that has sat out in the heat. Other places within reach include Konacik, Golturkbuku, Akyarlar. Friendly stray cats around hotels and beach cafes are tempting to stroke. Do not touch them, and wash any scratch straight away.

Care and Treatment for Cat Scratch
