Five Never Before Published TIPS TO AVOID A SHARK ATTACK
No one is on TV talking about shark safety as often as activist Veronica Grey, also known as the Surf Lady, inventor of the world's first ever non-electronic shark repelling wetsuit (by Boz.) Last August during the annual shark week by Discovery Channel, she did four television appearances in under two weeks! This August during shark week The Surf Lady Veronica Grey has a scheduled interview with CNN!
Her charity http://www.SwimWithoutSharks.com features numerous TV clips where she shares FREE lifesaving information on how to avoid a shark attack. Here she presents exclusively to Talk Story TV
5 brand new never before published tips!
(Not for those who get grossed out easily.)
1. ONLY PEE AS YOU SWIM
not as you stand in the same spot or sit on your surfboard idly waiting for a wave. Sharks are attracted to the smell of blood BUT NOT URINE; however, some of the components that make up blood also make up urine, so if you ARE going to pee, do it while you are in motion so that the water will quickly dissolve it as opposed to if you just sit on your surfboard and pee, now you have an entire cloud of urine just beneath you and sharks can smell parts per billion.
2. WEAR A BUTTLOAD OF SUNSCREEN ALL OVER YOUR BODY
Until we heard this secret, we would only protect our face and hands with sunscreen because we enjoy a super-tan rest of our body. However, we learned to DRENCH OUR ENTIRE BODY with sunscreen and here is why. The main reason for shark bites is sharks test to see if we are food or not. Since they have such a keen sense of smell, if they detect that weird (un-appetizing) chemical suntan lotion scent all over emanating from your vicinity, chances are they won't bother to take a test bite because they know FOR SURE you are not food and sunscreen is not their version of hot sauce.
3. DO NOT SWIM WITH YOUR PETS
Yeah we love our dog Flash Delirium so much that he even has his own Myspace. But when we discovered that what attracts sharks EVEN MORE than smell is SPLASHING AND THRASHING, we highly recommend keeping Fido out of the water. Splashing and thrashing reminds sharks of WOUNDED PREY because normal sea creatures swim elegantly and QUIETLY. If sharks hear a lot of commotion like that, they will come to investigate. Most surfers paddle with precise strokes that don't sound like an animal having problems, so parents with little children who frolic near the shore really need to pay attention to their noise level and splashing in sharky waters because some sharks like the bull shark can attack in as few as 18 inches of water. Some sharks have even beached themselves chasing after prey!
4. DO NOT SWIM ON YOUR PERIOD
This sounds obvious but I used to, because I love surfing so much that I wasn't gonna go 5 days in a row without it each month. The peanut gallery is divided on this issue, especially with the invention of fabulous products like the Diva Cup or Instead that I wear, "Instead" of tampons, because tampon companies secretly infuse dioxin (A LETHAL POISON) throughout tampons
