I guess this does a real "Mythbusters" act on a lot of the "facts" about the amazon being filled with pirhana, killer snakes, etc....

Always helps if you read before commenting, Noxious.

QuoteMany of you are still very interested in how we cope with the piranhas. There are thousands of them. Often you find them closer to the shore.

Three days ago we anchored our boat and threw meat into the river and immediately they started grabbing the meat.

So if you are bleeding or you have an open wound they will catch you right away.

Some locals told us how piranhas killed a two-year-old girl who was sitting near the shore. She was killed very quickly. This happened two years ago.

So I never swim close to the banks. I stay in the middle and I put some gasoline and cream on my wetsuit to stop the piranhas from smelling my body.
