How many deaths per year caused by stingrays?

Answer 1

Although National Geographic Magazine states that only 2 or 3 people die from stingrays each year, either they simply didn't research the data or they are lying to protect tourism in cities near the ocean. We researched dozens of web sites and learned by piecing together information through web sites and through hospital sites that probably more than a thousand people die from stingrays each year. We believe that the public is kept in the dark about this because vacationing people would stay away from swimming in the ocean and go other places.
