Lets make that time of the month a little fun with shark week!
Am I more likely to be eaten by a shark during Shark Week?
Probably not. Though there’s the old saying about sharks’ ability to smell blood up to a mile away, not only is that not true (it’s more like a quarter-mile), but it also doesn’t really apply to human blood. According to marine biologist Dr. Tricia Meredith, cited in this Broadly article on the subject, sharks are great at smelling but not better than a lot of other fish with similar nose structures. Instead, they’re really talented at sensing electromagnetic fields, and since your Shark Week blood isn’t any more conductive than a lot of other stuff—and sharks aren’t that into the taste of people anyway—you’re probably not more likely than any other time to be eaten by a shark.
Reminder: The probability of getting attacked by a shark, at any time, is 1 in 3,748,067. You’re way more likely to die from a fireworks disaster. So you should relax and also maybe avoid fireworks.
