Thread Name: BS: surviving animal attack ?
Subject: RE: BS: surviving animal attack ?
I've been attacked by a white-tailed deer, a javalina, and a black-tailed jack rabbit. They didn't succeed in biting me or in the case of the deer, split my skull with its hooves, because I was successfully able to defend myself (which in the case of the jack rabbit, wasn't too difficult - I used kung fu on the javalina). I've been bitten by a horse, a garden snake, numerous dogs and cats, mosquitos, black flies, midges, no-see-ums, ticks, and fleas. I've been peed and poohed on by many dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, and a baby tapir. I've twice been sprayed by a skunk. Been thrown by a horse once, and one horse ran away with me and I had to jump off. And one time a veterinarian squirted some hydrogen peroxide into the wound on a dog's neck and it exploded out the other side and hit me in the face. I expect that I've been bled on by a few animals as well.
