10 Deadliest Places to Swim
1. Queensland, Australien
Louring in the waters outside Queensland, are a whole army of deadly aquatic animals. There you’ll find blue-ringed octopus, cone shells, box jellyfish, scorpion fish and the small but highly venomous irukandji jellyfish. Of all these unpleasant sea creatures the box jellyfish ranks as the dealiest, killing anywhere between 100 to 200 people every year. In the Box jellyfish family, the Chironex fleckeri, Carukia barnesi and Malo kingi are considered among the most venomous creates in the world. It can grow up to ten foot long and is the sole cause for many beaches’ closing every year.
Do not swim during jellyfish alert and make sure to always wear a full body swim suite especially made to protect against jellyfish stings (stinger-suite). Or, just don’t swim.
2. Bolinas Beach, Kalifornien
Bolina Beach is a paradise for surfers but is also a part of the notorious “Red Triangle”. This spot is thus not only famous for its totally awesome rip curls but also for being a fears feading ground for The Great White Shark. These stigmatized marina animals can be seen hunting for sea lions directly from the beach. While the odds of being attacked and killed by a shark are very low, those odds would dramatically increase if you choose to swim at Bolina Beach.
Do not swim at dusk, dawn or night. Do not wear glittery jewelry. Do not swim alone and never enter the water with an open wound.
3. Amazon Basin
Besides the piranhas, caimans and electric eels, the main reason why you shouldn’t swim the Amazon Basin is a small insect known as Toothpick fish or Candirú. This little parasitic freshwater catfish has the uncomfortable habit of invading the human urinal tube or any other bodily opening for that matter.
Do not swim with an open wounds. Wear extra underwear under your swim suite and don’t splatter around too much.
4. Gulf Coast, U.S.
Except the catastrophic oil spill courtesy of BP, the U.S Gulf Coast is the home of some very unpleasant creatures. Here lives the cottonmouth water moccasin, one of the deadliest snakes on the continent. Get a bite by this snake and you could be dead within two hours.
Do not swim underneath branches hanging over the water. You movement in the water may trigger the snake to jump down.
5. Victoria Falls, Zambia
6. Khao Sok National Park, Thailand
Before you go camping in this national park, be advised. The area is the home to more deadly creatures than any naive tourist can imagine. Huge centipedes the size of an adult man’s arm, man eating sharks, blood sucking leeches, giant mosquitoes and poisonous caterpillars and Scorpion fish.
Getting bitten by leeches is seemingly unavoidable so make sure to take up smoking as leeches hate tobacco. When attacked, mix water with tobacco and pour it over the leech and it should let go. Whatever you do, do not try and remove it by force as it will cause it to release its venom.
7. Hanakapiai Beach, Kuai, Hawaii
Looks can be deceiving. Hawaii’s own Hanakapiai Beach on Kauai’s Nāpali Coast is nothing short of a mirage but unfortunately also a death trap. Strong ways, unpredictable riptides and powerful current has taken the lives of over 80 beach visitors. The death count is kept up to date by a handmade sign right on the beach.
To stay alive, simply do not swim here.
8. River Nile, Egypt
9. Shired Island, Dixie County
10. Kruger National Park

I AM THANKFUL!~
BECAUSE SHE IS HOME WITH ME,
AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH ME AND NOT OUT AT THE BARS
BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME,
NOT ON THE STREETS.
WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING,
AND GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING
FOR THE PARKING SPOT I FIND
AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT
AT THE END OF THE DAY
IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I HAVE FRIENDS WHO
ARE THINKING OF ME.
