Bite
A bite is a wound received from the mouth (and in particular, the teeth) of an animal or person. Animals may bite in self-defense, or in an attempt to predate food. Other bite attacks may be apparently unprovoked, especially in the case of bites committed by psychologically or emotionally disturbed humans. Some disorders such as Lesch-Nyhan syndrome may cause people to bite themselves.
