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.
Why do you want to question *my* preference?
Because that is his rice bowl.
Harry,
You need to learn how to read for comprehension. What made you think I
was questioning his preferences?
