While the actually bite will not kill you, if the wound becomes infected and is not treated then yes, it is possible you could die from the infection.
Also, if the person had a sore in their mouth and had HIV, that could in time kill you as well.
Just keep the area clean and you should be fine. If you notice any signs of infection (redness, swelling, pus) you should go to the Dr.

Did you know that a Pig's mouth is cleaner than a person's ?If skin is broken from any type of bite,infection is possable. The type of infection depents on many factors(too many to list here) As a EMT I have taken many people to the hospital because of Bites(human,anamial,insects ect) Most that I have taken waited untill the wound was really infected(swollen,red warn and painfull to touch) Without proper med attention death is possable. Hope I haven't scared you,but you asked

The human mouth is FULL of bacteria. If you got bitten really bad.. then it IS 'possible' that it could get badly infected and cause blood poisoning that would cause death if you didn't take care of it, or have a tetanus shot. It's possible, but not probable.

Oh, my goodness! Don't ever think that you will die. YOu must live your life to the fullest. Enjoy your life. Be in love with love and nature and you will find that there's no room for such question. If GOD wants to take you just by beating, HE will. But why? What happen?

You really should seek medical attention. The human bite is the most poisonous bite one could have. You could develop an infection in your blood stream and this could become septic which yes, could result in death if not treated.

AIDS is transmitted through sharing bodily fluids, if the skin was punctured and saliva got in to the wound, it's possible. If he bit you and tore out your jugular vein... If you are able to read this, then you will probably live.

If it was your mother-in-law... Nice to have met you!
(Just kidding.)
I heard it's possible but only if it becomes infected because you didn't treat it right.
There are a lot of poisoned microorganisms in the mouth that don't harm us but can be harmful in certain circumstances.

That depends on how dirty their teeth were (full of bacteria) and whether you cleaned the wound afterwards. I'd love to hear that long story BTW ;o)
