I stepped on one about 4 feet wide a few years back. Was in about 2 feet of
water, scared the hell out of both of us. No harm no foul though.

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.


I think it's important to remember that unfortunate events like this are
very, very rare.
You are in far more danger driving down to the local grocery store.

I agree these sort of events are rare, but they do happen. However, I
don't even like the thought of being stung by a jellyfish.
