A Guide for Accident Prevention And First Aid
by Edwin S. Iversen and Renate H. Skinner
There are dangers in the seas around us, but this book can make water activities safer and more enjoyable. Learn how to avoid dangerous creatures—and how to administer first aid just in case you aren't able to avoid them.
There are sections on
species that bite: sharks, bony barracuda, moray eels, fishes, alligators and crocodiles, octopi, and sea lice;
species that sting: jellyfish, stingrays, fire worms, fire coral, cone shells, sea urchins, and bony fishes (scorpionfish, cowfish, etc.); and
species dangerous to eat: from cholera, paralytic shellfish poisoning, red tide, parasites, ciguatera, etc.;
pests that harm swimmers: from various algae, bacteria, and parasites;
toxic mucus-secreting species: sponges, fishes, and marine toads; and
fish beak and processing injuries: flying fish, billfish, swordfish, and shark skin.
There is also a chapter on human/animal interactions at modern tourist attractions.
