I’m sure these freak events really happened, but it seems irresponsib(ru)le to make people feel like this might happen to them, just for views

    Yes, but the patient didn’t present with a dog lick, and I doubt it was even a consideration to begin with. “Dog lick shuts down man’s organs!!!1!!1!” just gets views. It’s not really honest imo.

      Cool, I’ll talk here then. Yeah they presented with an illness that was transmitted to them via dog lick. Still not clickbait. The dog lick caused the illness in a weird fashion. There’s nothing sensationalizing dogs, or fear mongering or anything else. It’s a weird medical case, BECAUSE it was transmitted by a dog.
