I heard that if you like swim in the ocean on your period.?

Question

I like to surf well still learning, anywho alot of grlz have told me that it's not a good idea to surf while on my period cuz sharks can detect blood miles way and I'll get attacked, is this true.

Answer 1

Yes.  They can detect blood at at least 1 mile away.

Answer 2

P***k no, you're more likely to get into a car wreck than get hit by a shark.

Answer 3

In almost fifty years in the ocean and back bays, I have never seen a shark attack a menstruating woman!

Answer 4

Use a tampon - I've had cuts on me from minor fin chops or reef scratches and kept surfing with no shark attacks, so no I don't think you would get attacked. I also surf with girls in the water and the thought had never crossed my mind.

Answer 5

Answer 8

Answer 9

yeah, but it's much worse when the shark has it's period

Answer 10

It's not in distance, it's in gallons of water and yes during your period DO NOT SURF! Sharks are very sensitive to scent.  Sharks sense blood in millions of gallons of water, only a drop will trigger their senses.  Though the odds of getting bit by a shark aren't high at all getting bit by a shark while you are in your period heightens the chances soooooo much! Please don't surf during your period would be the gist of this excessively long paragraph in which I could have just said "yes." well, that was fun.  See ya.

Answer 11

Nothing more is important than your life, so stay away from ocean during your period.
