I just stumbled uponthis website this morning. I was a little surprized by the results. For some reason I didn't think mexico would be at the top of these list. It also surprized me that scorpions killed so many more people than spiders. check it out.

Happy holidays to everyone out there!

America 24 deaths ahead of the rest of the world in power lawn mower department. Impressive.

Isn't that ridiculous? I wonder if the best way to work on a mower is with it running and turned on its side. How did that many people die from lawnmowers?!

I found it interesting that the USA beat Australia for number of spider-caused deaths: 5 to 3, even though they obviously have more dangerous spiders.

Interesting data, thanks for posting it!

Which ones, all of them? It says the stats come from the WHO. Are they untrustworthy?
