Burning sensation

[Mach 1 Padilla]

I was wondering if anybody has experienced anything similar. I was moving a rooster from one pen to another when it got a good hold of my cheek and drew blood. Ever since ive been feeling a very light burning/numb sensation in the area, as well as my lip and around the eyes, forehead. Its been about a week and its still there. Comes and goes. The rooster does not look sick. The wound healed up with no complications.

edit: i just want to add that i am not allergic to anything and dont have allergies

I think it would be best to have it looked at by a Dr. No sense in taking a chance. Maybe hit a nerve, but infection is no joke, so I would see someone. Just simply not worth the risk.

I agree, if it got any kind of infection It should be looked at by a doctor.

Yes That was my first thought, same thing as @coach723, he might have hit a nerve. I’d go see a dr. If It doesn’t go away soon.

Dr would be your best solution... Either nerve, blood clot, or infection. None of these things you want to keep on hold any longer.

Good luck with everything and please keep us posted

You should see a doctor. ASAP.
It could be a nerve that was aggravated. It may be infection.
Does your cheek feel warm to touch? Are there any red streaks near the area? In any case, spend a little money on your peace of mind (& your health) and go to the doctor.

Could it be salmonella?


Agreeing with everyone else, it sounds like doctor time

I did go to the doctor earlier this week they hooked me up to a heart machine that detects clots/stroke and also got chest xrays done and blood work. Everything came back negative for what they checked for. I also just quit smoking after 14 years and some say it might be the extra oxygen getting to my face. But i know it had to do with the bite since thats the exact area i started feeling the tingling. I will schedule another apointment with another doctor this week for a second opinion.

The rooster does not look sick.

While I do agree with other peeps...

I know some hens peck at shiny things like my teeth and such out of sheer curiosity.

But if this was in any way intentional on the roosters' part... the ONLY burning sensation I would feel might be the hot water hitting my hands while I swirl him around a pot in preparation for plucking!

It's simply not worth the risk of losing any eye if or when you have to move him again.

I also just quit smoking after 14 years

No joke, congratulations!

Id say it is due to you no longer smoking.
You'd be surprised what a steady stream of a vascular constrictor can hide when you get hurt....well I guess not so much now lol.
