OK, I am sure you've been working on the computations...
so, what are the odds that you will get stung based on the numbers you gathered? I'll bet they are higher than I would have thought.
Factor in that as a diehard rider kiting in the Tampa Bay area you could spend 4-5 days/week in the water (especially if teaching) and several hours a day. I'll bet the people who typically get stung at Ft. Desoto have gone into the water once for every 50 times we get into the water (if not less).
c'mon "Unimog Bob" I can hear the gears turning from here...
maybe we need to develop some kevlar armored booties and spats -that would be stylish!
