Where sharks can attack
Shark attacks on vacationing tourists and locals have recently become a sad omen of the tourist season. Which resorts are considered the most disadvantaged and where sharks attack? If we talk about shark attacks on peaceful tourists, then there is a very serious growth. This year alone, the number of attacks by these predators on humans is approaching two dozen. It all started on the beaches of Egypt, and now continues to this day – in the Russian Primorye. We are already talking about almost a dozen deaths per season in the world, and this sad list tends to replenish.
Why have sharks around the world become so aggressive? Experts explain this by the fact that predators in the world's oceans are left without their usual prey - fish that are caught on an excessive scale. As a result, sharks are forced to migrate and seek food where they did not appear.
Shark attacks on humans are widely known thanks to the media, which described the dramas in the resorts of Egypt and Russian Primorye. But in fact, the same dramatic episodes were also recorded on the beaches of Australia and South Africa. Last season set a sad record - in South Africa only on the beach Fish Hoek was recorded 21 episodes associated with the attack of white sharks on a person. Also aggressive sharks in Puerto Rico and on the beaches of the Seychelles.
However, it is not only sharks that spoil vacations for tourists. There is already a kind of rating of dangerous to the health of vacationing countries, and, this rating was made by very sensible British insurance companies, and the famous Forbes magazine added its share to this in its study.
The British, oddly enough, among the most dangerous for tourists was Thailand, so popular among Russians. The reason is not only in the criminal situation in the country, but also in the diseases that it can reward tourists. Among the most dangerous insurers are parasites that enter the body not with food, but through the skin. However, you can protect yourself from this scourge if you make appropriate vaccinations.
The Brazilian resort Snake Island is also not the most prosperous place to relax, despite all its climatic advantages. The reason is the abundance of poisonous snakes, which can cause a lot of inconvenience.
And finally, India, the journey on which it is best to start also after numerous vaccinations, since there are not only viruses and infections unusual for Europeans, but also poisonous insects in abundance.
However, most of these problems can be avoided if basic preventive measures are taken. They don't concern, of course, sharks. In communicating with predators, no vaccinations will help.
