Human bite force
Humans bite much harder than any of the other primates. Humans generate the highest amount of force to their first molars. Average persons showed 171 pounds for the molar teeth and much less for bicuspids and incisors. But this can go up to approximately 120 kilograms or 265 pounds of force. Because of the amount of bacteria in the human mouth, a human bite which breaks the skin almost guarantied to lead to infection.
Seek medical help right away if you have pain, swelling, or redness in the area of the wound. Bites near your face, feet, or hands may be more serious.
Blood spurts from the wound

2. Clean and Protect
