HAYWARDS HEATH, UK - An English businessman died of an infection about two weeks after he was bitten by his children's pet rat. An inquest in West Sussex determined this week that the bite was almost certainly the cause of Matthew Wareing's death, although the bacterium involved has not been identified, The Telegraph reported. Coroner Roger Stone said Wareing apparently postponed seeing a doctor when serious symptoms developed about 10 days after the bite, because he had a business meeting. He died July 20, a day after he was admitted to the intensive care unit at the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath. Full Story - I Love Cats Magazine - Winston Cigarettes - Fig Leaves
