In mid-July, a 12-year-old from Tarrant County walked into the waters off of the Texas Gulf Coast. Although five successful surgeries ensure that he’ll walk again soon, he still hasn’t taken his first steps since that fateful summer swim. The North Texan was swimming and playing in the surf when a bull shark bit his foot, nearly requiring its amputation. Fortunately, prompt, skilled health care saved his ability to walk again.
The Texas Gulf Coast is a tourist attraction for millions of people every summer. It’s important to remember, however, that its not without its dangers, among them shark attacks, jelly fish stings, potentially lethal undertow and many others.
