7. The USA and Australia have the most sharks infested waters in the world. The United States is the shark attack capital of the world accounting for almost half of the reported attacks globally. All of the “big three” shark species can be found off the coast of North America; the great white, tiger shark and bull shark are all native to the waters there and have all made some lethal attacks. Texas and North and Carolina on the list of deadly shark attacks and if you include Hawaii in the North American figures, then this has a high number of attacks which are all attributed to tiger sharks.

6. The most deadly snakes in North America are called “pit vipers” which are the rattlesnake, copperhead, and cottonmouth. The western diamondback is the most fatal of the rattlesnakes it is liable for a great amount of snakebites in the US. It is a very hostile snake that will attack soon after shaking its rattle. Ignore the sound and you will be sorry. The cottonmouth is mostly found near lakes and streams. Although presumed to be ill-tempered, the snake prefers to run away if threatened or to resort to threat displays of threatening behavior or discharge a foul-smelling odor. The copperhead can be found in forests and has its threatening reaction. It will stay still and “freeze” when it feels threatened instead of gliding away. Regrettably, most people don’t do not notice when the snake does this and accidently step on it, which inevitably results in a snake bite.

5. From 2001 to 2007, twelve people were killed by American alligators, three of which were located in Florida and only just hours apart. The American alligator is close to extinction and flourishes in the lakes and swamps of the southeastern United States. The alligator is an incredibly powerful swimmer but enjoys going on land to relax in the sun. Sometimes the alligator can even be found up in trees! It is a cunning and opportunistic predator and will eat just about anything even humans.

4. “Killer bees” are called killer for an excellent reason. Why? Because the bees can be very defensive and very aggressive. If they believe that there is even the slightest danger to their hive, for instance, the noise coming from a vehicle, they will attack in swarms by chasing the menace for a quarter of a mile (or half a kilometer) and will remain agitated for approximately 24 hours after the threat has vanished. They also will hold grudges. Their venom from one stinger is not that potent, but since the whole swarm will sting you, you can expect severe pain, numbness, and swelling. You could die if you have an allergy to bee venom. Forty to fifty people die every year from allergic reactions to the stings of killer bees, which have grown in population in the United States.

3. You can find the Arizona bark scorpion in the Sonora desert in the state of Arizona. The scorpion is only about 3 inches long, and it is dreaded and feared for good reason. The venom causes severe pain, partial paralysis, and breathing problems it is the most venomous scorpion in North America. The scorpion can be found in homes since because it does not burrow, every year thousands of people in Arizona are believed to be stung by this Scorpion. Luckily, the people who are hurt rarely die but those who do are usually children, the elderly and individuals who are ill.

2. The brown recluse spider is a venomous spider that is commonly found in the southern United States. The spider will spin erratically shaped webs, but can also be found inside cold, tight spaces. This is where we commonly encounter them and get bitten. The bite of a brown recluse is not painful in the beginning; it can take as little as 2 to 8 hours before it will become painful, irritating, and itchy. The bite can also cause harm to the skin around the bite and deteriorate. In worst cases damage will be done to a person’s muscles and blood vessels.

1. The Center of Disease Control releases national statistics every year regards to the leading causes of death in America and anyone who has gotten the flu or pneumonia has felt like death. There is reason that your doctor stresses to you every year that you should get a flu shot because the virus can kill you and others that you expose. In 2014, the CDC reported that 55,227 died from flu and pneumonia. Complications of the viruses can include bacterial pneumonia, sinus infections, dehydration, ear infections and worsening of chronic medical conditions, like heart failure, diabetes, and asthma. The best way to help prevent yourself from getting the virus is to get a vaccine every year.
