Snake Attack, Bear Attack, Shark Attack, Oh My!
May 1, 2018
20 year-old Colorado man, Dylan McWilliams, was bitten by a shark on Thursday, April 19, making the attack another deadly experience he’s survived. He has also survived a rattle snake bite and a bear attack.
“The scariest part was swimming back,” he told the news outlet, adding that he was hoping the shark wouldn’t continue following the trail of blood from his leg.
The leg wound required seven stitches, the Star-Advertiser reported.
Last July, McWilliams told the paper, he received nine staples in his scalp after a nearly 300-pound bear invaded his Colorado campsite.
“The bear grabbed the back of my head and started pulling me and I was fighting back as best as I could,” he told Hawaii News Now. “It dropped me and stomped on me a little bit, and I was able to get back to the group and they scared it away.”
The Rattle Snake encounter occurred about three and a half years ago in Utah, McWilliams told the Star-Advertiser.
Fortunately for him, he only took in a small amount of venom, so he was only briefly ill afterward, he told the newspaper.
“I don’t know,” McWilliams told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser on Friday. “I’m either really lucky or really unlucky.”
