NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Officials say a shark has bitten a
17-year-old boy on Florida's east coast.
Officials say the victim, who was from Mims, was surfing with
friends when he was bitten on the right foot Friday. The bite
occurred in the Atlantic Ocean off New Smyrna Beach, about 15 miles
south of Daytona Beach.
Officials say the teen's friends tried to take him to a
hospital, but he became faint and they had to stop and call an
ambulance. He was treated and then taken to Bert Fish Medical
Center in stable condition and underwent surgery.

This is why I DON:T swim in open water! When will these folks learn that your swimming in the home of thousands of dangerous things! I know its been going on for years, becase as a child I’d go to Dauphin Island or Alba Bay and play in the water all day. Not Now…if I can’t see the bottom thats not inviting to me!
