Cat scratch disease

2017-04-24 19:34:35
I recently got a good scratch from my cat on my leg that broke skin. I have gotten scratched a few times from the same cat over the years. I am feeling uneasy as i read about Cat Scratch Disease . It does not hurt at the moment, but concerned about a serious problem.
