Florida does not publish the
actual amount of shark attacks due to scaring off the tourists....I have
stepped on a shark...I didn't know I could run that fast...

First off, Florida doesn't have to--the news does it for them. Secondly,
unprovoked shark attacks are very rare throughout the entire US, so they're
even more rare in FL.

Finally, all I'm saying is that you have a whole lot better chance of drowning
than being bit by a shark.

Actually a significant number of the world wide reported shark attacks are in
Florida. Almost all of the US attacks are in FL.

Its still more common to drown, or die from a bee sting.

That's right: FL, CA, and the Carolinas. It's kind of hard to have a shark
attack in CO or AZ.

Whatever, stay on the lakes and scream at the sight of dolphins--what do I
care.

At least your family can bury all of you if you die
from a bee sting. Being eaten alive is a horror.

Dying of anaphylaxis is pretty horrendous. Been there twice, fortunately
didn't complete the trip. Being eaten alive would be much worse....you
would hopefully bleed out quickly and lapse into unconsciousness before it
got too bad...
