Okay, I know I'm going to get alot of eye-rolls here, but I really need to know. Does swimmng in OW during your menstrual cycle make you shark bait?
I was talking to one of the lifeguards at the La Jolla Cove about last year's Solana Beach shark attack and he said this: "What the news didn't report was that there was an injured seal involved. That's why the shark came in and attacked in 15 feet of water. He was after the seal that was bleeding."
Thoughts anyone?

I had a friend who was very into scuba diving in high school. She said that sharks can tell the difference between menstrual blood and blood from other sources, but a quick google search found this: www.flmnh.ufl.edu/.../mens.htm
that article states:"This reflects a historic pattern of more males engaged in marine aquatic activities, especially those that put humans most at risk, e.g. surfing, diving, long distance swimming....."
i don't think there are any, (if any) attacks on record for long distance swimmers, though there have certainly been quite a few sightings.
i would also be curious to see what the ratio of wetsuit: nekked incidents is.
