Actually Im pretty sure there are some worms that really eat you. I know there are some outer parasites that eat you like tics and lice.Originally Posted by Strider
lolParasites don't really eat you, do they? (They destroy cells and alter the cells DNA for their own use.
I'm on the west coast so I mainly have concern for Western Rattlesnakes and Mountain Lions. Although I believe the lions are every rare and generally there are only a couple for something like 50sq miles because of the environments carrying capacity. Rattlesnakes I have yet to see also.
Overall though I believe my greatest fear is sharks and water snakes/eels. In water I'm very vulnerable to predators or defensive animals. 360 degrees in every direction that something can sneak up and bite ya!
Ticks are a big concern here. Although they DO NOT eat you (they attach within several ours because they have to climb to the warm spots of the body and they leech blood until they are full. Then they drop off.), they can carry Lyme disease. According to an article on the Henry W. Coe State Park (located in Morgan Hill) website, Lyme disease is killed by something in the blood of Western Fence Lizards aka Blue Belly lizards. The percentage of ticks with Lyme disease at that park is 0.5%. In most other parts of California it is estimated to be 5%. Possibly because of what the lizards blood contains.
That was looong but maybe it dispels some of the fear people have of ticks. Although knowing that, I still check for ticks often.
To avoid any of the camouflaged or unseen hazards be SURE that you watch where you put your hands and feet. If you really have to be curious, rough things up with a long stick first.
Oh yeah and parasitic worms are nasty. Tapeworms and ringworms uggghh. Thankfully the U.S. is pretty much free of large parasites besides leeches with the exception of southeastern states that contain swamps and bayous (I think).
My brother got Lyme disease a long time ago, it took a while for the doctors to figure out what it was. Also my moms friends son got Lyme disease. I do consider leech blood eating you.
Sorry to hear that. Where did that happen? I'd like to stay away!
That happened here in southern Minnesota, in a valley were deer ticks were really thick. My brothers ok now but when he was sick he couldnt walk. It can affects deferent people differently so its not always easy to identify.
Humans by far, the least predictable and most irresponsible.

Volwest, humans hardly act rationaly at the best of time, they may act as expected for a while, them boom, they zig instead of zag.
