What is the prevention for Bacillary Angiomatosis?

There are no known specific preventive measures for bacillary angiomatosis. However, general preventive measures for avoiding infection with Bartonella bacteria include:

- Avoiding contact with cats, especially stray or feral cats, and avoiding being scratched or bitten by cats.

- Practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands with soap and water after contact with cats or other animals, and after gardening or working in soil.

- Avoiding contact with soil or water that may be contaminated with animal feces.

- If you have any open wounds or sores, keep them clean and covered to prevent infection.

- Practicing safe sex, as Bartonella bacteria can also be transmitted through sexual contact.

- Seeking prompt medical attention if you have any symptoms of bacillary angiomatosis, such as skin lesions, fever, chills, or malaise.
