Question

Isi it safe for a woman to go surfing if she has her period? would menstrual blood attract sharks?

Answer 1

only if your swimming in shark infested water.

but in all seriousness sharks prefer to swim places with lots of fish, like coral reefs.

fish like to stay away from beaches because the trafic there scares them.

plus you would need to rip your arm off to make enough blood to even remotly atract a shark on the beach.

so id say its ok you won't get killed by a shark swimming on ur period.

but im gonna have to double think before going in the water now.

Answer 2

The answer is yes, Sharks can detect blood in the water from a great distance however the incident of shark attack is relatively small. More people are killed every year by bee stings and being kicked by a horse.

Dont forget that the ocean is the sharks home not yours and that man is not here normal prey, most of the time attacks on surfers and divers because is because they are mistaken for seals etc

I have surfed in South Africa for over 50 years and in that time had only two incidents that could have been risky. on the other hand I have an associate who has survived thre attacks

Answer 3

Sounds risky, I wouldn't chance it.

Answer 4

hahaha in southern california??? NO

Answer 5

It would be safe if you wore a tampon. But f you went in without anything, then you might have a problem.

Answer 6

Surfing is illegal.Go dancing instead.

Answer 7

No, I hope you will be wearing something to stop the blood!
