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

Swimming in water filled with creatures that can kill or cause serious

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.
