Which bite level involves skin not punctured, possibly a red mark or slight bruise?

• A. Air snap - no contact
• B. Skin not punctured, may be red mark or slight bruise
• C. 1 to 4 holes from single bite, puncture no deeper than 1/2 length of canine tooth
• D. Multiple level 4 bites

Answer: (B)

This bite level describes contact without breaking the skin. You might see a red mark or a slight bruise, but no puncture occurs. It’s a milder form of contact than punctures and doesn’t involve any skin penetration, which is why this description fits best. Air snap involves no contact at all, so it wouldn’t produce any mark. The description with holes and punctures indicates a bite that penetrates the skin, even if shallow, and multiple high-severity bites carry even greater risk and damage.
