This is not the same animal that killed the "Crikey" guy or that pokes

I knew a guy who died that way in the 80s. He was near Ft Myers, the
ray hit him in the leg, it became badly infected and he died several
days later.
Swimming in water filled with creatures that can kill or cause serious
injury to you is not my cup of tea.
Well that removes 95% of the earth's waters.
The fact that this made front page news, shows how rare it is.
I and hundreds of thousands of others, have been swimming with sharks,
rays and barracudas many times, without any problems. In Mexico I hand
feed Nurse sharks and moray eels. The dive guide I was with, did this
with any of his divers who were interested. No one had died yet.
