Animal & Insect Hazards and Attacks

One of the great attractions of the Great Outdoors is its varied animal and plant life. Many people who go for outdoor adventures are seriously concerned about being mauled by a bear, getting bitten by a king cobra, or being attacked by a swarm of killer bees. In reality, serious injuries or deaths by animal attacks are rare. To take away your often irrational fears, we will touch base on the most commonly feared animal and insect attacks and we will teach you how to prevent attacks and what do in case you are confronted with an attack.

Insect Bites & Bee Stings Insect Bites & Bee Stings
Bee stings can be fatal to those who are allergic to them. But they can still kill those who aren't if a person has been stung by bees numerous times. Fatal or not, bee stings and those of other insects can give you great discomfort. Know how to prevent them from happening and treat them if they do happen.

Scorpion & Snake Bites Scorpion & Snake Bites
Being bitten by snakes or stung by scorpions isn't immediately fatal. With the proper first aid and immediate medical assistance, its effects can be prevented from being deadly. Read this section and learn how to prevent them or to apply first aid if unfortunately it happens.

Bear Attacks Bear Attacks
Bears aren't always the fluffy, friendly creature depicted in cartoons and literature. In rare cases, bears attack people when they are startled or see you as an obstacle to a food source. Don't be a statistic of this rare occurence, protect yourself from bear attacks.


If you are engaged in an Outdoor Activity, it is very important to ensure your safety. Make sure you have enough knowledge and training when it comes to dealing with various conditions and injuries.
