But getting bitten doesn't just happen during a violent incident. For many, it is simply an occupational hazard that 'comes with the job'.

Human bites can often stem from distress, sensory overload, or communication challenges. Yet the consequences can be serious, leading to infections, nerve damage, long-term scarring, and extended staff absence.

Training is essential, but it’s not always enough. Bite-resistant clothing can provide a discreet, dignified layer of protection, helping professionals feel safer while maintaining trust and rapport with those they care for.

At BitePRO®, we believe safety is part of our duty of care, not just for the people we support, but for the staff who dedicate themselves to that support.

In our blog, we look at the biggest myths about bite injuries and why prevention matters.

When you think about dangerous bites, your mind might go straight to dogs or other animals.

But the facts might just surprise you.

According to the National Institute of Health, infection rates from human bites are around 25%, more than double the infection rate from dog bites.

The human mouth harbours hundreds of bacterial species, and when they enter the bloodstream through broken skin, the results can be serious:

🧫 Severe bacterial infections
🦠 Transmission of viruses like Hepatitis B or C
😷 Long-term complications if left untreated

For frontline professionals in healthcare, care homes, or special education, this isn’t just theory, it’s an everyday occupational hazard.

We’ve spoken with teachers and carers who have suffered repeated bites, some requiring hospitalisation, antibiotics, or time away from work.

Beyond the physical injury, these incidents also take an emotional toll, adding stress and anxiety to already demanding roles.

So what can be done?

✔️ Spot the early signs of infection and seek treatment
✔️ Implement behavioural risk assessments and training
✔️ Provide staff with protective clothing to prevent injuries

In our latest blog, we take a closer look at the hidden dangers of human bites, how to manage them, and the practical steps organisations can take to keep staff safe.

The highest human bite force ever recorded was 975 pounds, sustained for 2 seconds in a research test conducted at the University of Florida College of Dentistry.

That matches the same bite force as an average grizzly bear and is powerful enough to crush bone!

The average human bite is much lower than this, at around 162 PSI, which is still more than enough force to puncture skin, damage muscle, and cause long-term injury.

In high-risk situations such as working in healthcare, social care, or special education, this risk is not hypothetical but an occupational hazard.

BitePRO® Bite Resistant Clothing is engineered to reduce the risk of injury from aggressive biting incidents.

Our garments are user-tested with puncture and cut-resistant materials designed to offer durable flexibility and reliable protection without compromising comfort.

Physical Intervention and de-escalation isn’t just a skill, it’s your first line of defense.

For school districts across the US, rising incidents of aggression, behavioral escalation, and staff injury are creating real operational, legal, and reputational risk.

The difference isn’t policy alone, it’s preparedness. Schools that invest in prevention-first training are able to:

📉 Reduce the frequency and severity of incidents
🛡️ Protect teachers, educators and support staff from injury
💪 Strengthen compliance with duty-of-care and state guidelines
👩‍🏫 Create safer, more supportive learning environments for students

Our de-escalation and physical intervention training program is designed to help you scale this capability across your school district. Because the most effective interventions don’t happen in the moment of crisis, they happen in the moments that prevent it.

Discover how it works and start building a safer classroom today.

🚨 There is a serious problem with aggressive behaviour in SEND schools.

Unfortunatley, it's an issue that many people and organisations don't want to acknowledge or address. But the fact is teachers and staff are facing challeging behaviour from students on a daily basis.

Last year, BitePRO® ran a special education staff safety survey where we asked over 100+ educational professionals about their experiences in the classroom.

Here are some of the findings from the report:

👩‍🏫 Over 92% of special education staff have been injured or exposed to aggressive behavior in school.

📆 52.2% of staff experienced aggressive or injurious behavior every single week or sometimes more often.

🤕 49.6% of surveyed staff have required immediate medical attention after a student-related injury.

🧠 72% of surveyed staff say that aggressive behavior in school has negatively impacted their mental health.

👋 53.3% of staff have considered leaving their profession because of safety concerns.

At BitePRO® Safeguarding Solutions we offer expert advice, training, and practical protection for you and your team so you can focus on what you do best: teaching those in your care.
