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. Of course, that's what the guy in the Bahamas used to say, up until late February... http://snipurl.com/228zz DT |
