    • Seek medical care for deep cuts, animal or human bites, burns, electrical injuries, or puncture wounds
    • In cases of a severed body part or uncontrollable bleeding, call 911 immediately
    • Strains and sprains result in pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the injured part
    • Immediate treatment for strains and sprains involves rest, ice, compression, elevation, and pain relief medication
