Question

In terms of attributed human deaths which are more dangerous; snakes, bees, sharks or house flies?

Answer 1

The house fly has yet to be positively identified as a disease carrier, despite popular opinion. He gets a bum rap for being so noisy and noxious and ugly.

Also note that maggots eat up a lot of carrion, which is useful, and  have even been used medically to clean out infected wounds.

Answer 2

all of them hahahah!!

Answer 3

according to studies there are more people died in the world due to bee stings everyday compared to other insects or animal attacks!!!!highest rates are recorded in africa!!!large no. of species of bees live there!!!!especially the dreaded african honey bee!!!!

Answer 4

Bees mainly due to allergies

Answer 5

As you have listed them, the greatest killer is the snake and the least dangerous is the shark.

However, the species responsible for the most human deaths is in fact ourselves.

Answer 6

I was thinking bees, and that seems to be correct after doing some research.

"Bee stings are the largest killer of humans in the U.S. directly caused by animals. An allergic reaction to the venom is bee’s kills 53 people per year. This number is increasing every year due to the aggressive African honey bee that is taking over in Texas.

Rattlesnakes carry venom that kill 5.5 people per year.

In reality, less that 1 person per year is killed by a shark in the U.S. Hawaii, California, and Florida are the most likely places to be attacked".

I didn't investigate deaths by house flies.
