Mad hatter disease is a form of chronic mercury poisoning. It got its name because it commonly affected hat makers in the 18th to 20th centuries. Pesticides are used in farming to kill weeds and insects.
Irwin died after the serrated barb of a stringray penetrated his heart. Although the venom embedded in the tail spines of stingrays can kill small creatures and cause acute pain to humans, it is extremely rare for the shy fish to kill humans.
It is thought the stingray that killed Irwin struck its tail with a reflex powerful enough to puncture a hole in the year-old's chest in what is said to have been only the third recorded fatal stingray attack in Australia. Irwin's family and friends held a private funeral around a campfire at his Australia Zoo at the weekend. Irwin was likely killed not by the sting so much as the fact that the stingray's spear pierced his heart and caused him to bleed to death, according to news reports.
Live Science. Robert Roy Britt. Only two have been reported in Australian waters since Both victims were stung in the chest, like Irwin. Worldwide, death by stingray is similarly rare, with only one or two fatal attacks reported each year. But non-fatal stingray attacks occur frequently in shallow waters worldwide. These usually involve unwitting waders who step on rays nestled into the sand, hiding from predators.
These types of attacks—some 1, per year occur in U. Like most other stingrays, short-tail stingrays, also called smooth stingrays or bull rays, spend most of their time gliding over the ocean floor in search of the clams, fish, or crustaceans to eat.
The wave-like undulations of their flattened pectoral fins propel them gracefully over the seabed and draw the attention of divers and snorkellers in the waters of the Indian and West Pacific Oceans. Until then, the attack is being characterized as a freak accident and a tragic end to the life of a dedicated conservationist.
Good article, Bob. We treated it incorrectly until my college roomie ran up to a fire station to ask for first aid we were stuck in traffic en route to hospital — they sent her back to the car with HOT water: venum needs to come out, not be frozen with ice packs.
That change of temp on my foot was painful, too! And to ruin the entire vacation, antibiotics require a cessation of alcohol consumption…. I cut my losses and allowed him to search the net for relevant articles, and yours was selected. Trying to gain some educational value, i asked him to read aloud and to tell me who wrote the article.
The child said your name. Interesting that a former rickshaw driver can make it all the way in the big apple. Mazel tov on your accomplishments! Steve harassed wildlife, snakes, etc they were all clearly stressed out. This guy was in the entertainment industry not truly into conservation industry.
Anything that gets stabbed into an organ acts as a cork; it will plug the wound and stop massive internal bleeding long enough to get help. I recall the news reports stated that he was swimming over the top to the ray. Good intentions, but those laws are there for a reason. Jesus that camera man must have been ssso high or he is ssso full of excrement.
The ray was cornered because Irwin was on top and the camera men surrounded the ray so that it had no where to go. As Shanti said he was known for harassing wildlife!
Obviously the word had spread among the wildlife world and as others have pointed out this animal was being harassed. This is not like other videos of people swimming with stingrays wonderfully and with respect in Baja California. Steve might have not been perfect in his methods but you are saying he deserved to die? Sympathy to the Irwin family. He has a family,a daughter, why would anyone say something like that!
Firstly I am just going to add he never pulled no stingray barb out of his chest the camera man that was with him even stated that. And all you disrespectful cunts saying he deserves to be dead well I wish I could say the same about you. My god people need to educate themselves and do a little research before they comment.
I love how I asked google how often people die from stingray attacks and, from the whole blog post, it knew exactly which paragraph to read out loud with the answer. In one of his Galapagos excursions he had to be told a number of times, by a Galapagos preserve ranger, to give more space to the critters he was trying to encounter.
