Why do I see sharks coming at me, anytime I take a cold shower ?

you may wanna lay off the acid before you take a shower.  that is, if the sharks are bothering you.  if you enjoy seeing sharks coming at you while you shower, i guess that's your choice.

Ironically, sharks don't seem to much like the taste of human beings. \n\nUsually it's a case of "mistaken" identity, where they thought they were going after seals or some other aquatic food source. This is especially common when a human is paddling on a surfboard/kickboard -- the silhouette is that of a seal.\n \nMany times a shark will take a bite, then leave. Not nearly all shark attacks are fatal, often they're just long enough for the shark to decide better cuisine lies elsewhere.\n\n(Sharks in a "feeding frenzy" are a different story, where they simply attack anything within range.)\n\nI think they are terrifying simply because (1) it reminds us we are not in control as much as we think, (2) it dehumanizes us since the shark is viewing us as mere "food" rather than sentient beings with feelings, (3) the shark comes out of nowhere and could be lurking anywhere out of sight in the water, waiting to strike (at least, that's what it feels like), (4) physically we are weaker than the shark in its element, and (5) the wounds are terrible ones to suffer and/or look at, and loss of limbs and thus disability can occur.\n\nI think #2 is why people often "feel" as if sharks are evil.

When cold air hits your face or other exposed skin it can feel as if it is biting or nipping at you.\nNipply on the other hand is something quite different. :)

because when you get cold your body shrinks a little bit to conserve energy. but the skin around the little hairs is attached so it doesn't shrink with they rest of the skin. so there are little bumps

when you go into hot water or anything hot the part that goes in first (usually your feet) gets real hot so the rest of your body feels much colder compared to your feet. when you get cold your veins and arteries expand so they can get more blood through causing your skin to get streched out which makes you hairs to stand up creating "goosebumps". i hope you can understand this.

This happens to novices because I think they're not equalizing properly.  Too much force probably.  You're using more force because you're stressed and not relaxing.  There may be other reasons but try to relax and equalize gently and frequently - BEFORE you feel a squeeze.  This also happened to me occasionally when I started diving.\n***\nWith sharks I wouldn't say you have NOTHING to worry about. You can dive in high risk areas and increase the chance of a confrontation, but general recreational diving doesn't carry a risk of shark attack.

it is possible, depends on how heavy ur leakage is and how far the sharks are from you, but thats just the thing.. you never kno until they BITE...

only when it happens in the western hemisphere...during el nino while a hurrican blows in the month of july....wait of course they can they just say man-eating is because the women are smart to stay out of the water when there are sharks around...men say oooh...a shark let's go pet it. usually alchohol is involved with tha last part.

I went to the aquarium and just got used to seeing them. Then, my aquarium has a touching zoo, so once I got used to their look I went there and touched a nurse-shark (they feel kinda like a wet lemon...) Now, the ocean...I'm not really sure how to over come that fear...

It seems to be the result of either the shark mistaking the human for food or from the shark smelling blood around a human such as from an injury.  One of the favorite foods of a shark is the seal.  A human on a surf board looks very much like a seal when viewed from below as he or she might be by a shark.  In about 96% of all shark attacks, the shark will bite the victim only once and then release them.  This would seem to indicate that once the shark realized that the victim was not one of his normal foods he would break off the attack.  Maybe human meat is not to their liking.  Even so, a single bite from a shark is sometimes sufficient to cause massive hemorrhaging and death.

roaches \n\nGetting old (I've always said I wanted to die young.)\n\nAlso it's not necessarily a fear, but every time I use the bathroom at someones house if the shower curtain is closed, I always peek inside the shower or bathtub to make sure no one is in there before I use the restroom.  I have no idea why I do that, but have for years.

I used to have that problem. Its either a mental problem or demonic obsession. Demons will make a person have obsessive thoughts that repeat themselves, are always negative, and weaken the person's will-power until they can be possessed. Strengthen your will-power. Meditation could help. When you take a shower, at the end, turn it to only cold water and run it over your head, neck, back, and whole body. Running cold water can weaken and loosen etherical energies that might be collected on you. Demons can only hurt us to the extent that we allow them to. You have to build your will-power and defy their attempts to influence you. I had an obsession with selling my soul when I was younger. The idea would always return to me and I had to fight it for many years. I felt tormented by those horrid thoughts and I could not get them out of my head. I now think that this is what it was and I wish I knew some of the things I now know then. It is really all about your will-power and the strength of your resolve. Some religious intervention could help, but it all comes back to your own personal strength. This sort of thing usually happens to people between 12 - 17 years old. I understand the horror that you are going through. You must fight it or it will get worse.

My friend Shane loves to tell tales of his shark attack. It was off the coast of New Zealand and this massive shark came up and after a wild struggle it bit off a huge chunk from his body....that's his tale. The truth is a small shark bit off the end of his pinky finger. He really doesn't have the end of his finger anymore. But he has suddenly developed at fingernail on the new tip. Weird.

hello yahoo pal,\n\n    \n  The fear of sharks has been fueled by a few rare instances of unprovoked attack, such as the Jersey Shore Shark Attacks of 1916, and by sensationalized fiction and film, such as the Jaws series. The creater of the Jaws phenomenon, Peter Benchley, has himself in recent years attempted to dispel the myth of sharks being maneating monsters. In 2005 there were worldwide a total of 58 unprovoked attacks of which 4 were fatal [2]. Several hundred people die annually from lightning strikes and 1.3 million people die from diseases transmitted via mosquito bites.\n\n \nSnorkeler with Blacktip Reef Shark.Contrary to popular belief, only a few sharks are dangerous to humans. Out of more than 360 species, only 4 have been confirmed to have killed appreciable numbers of humans in unprovoked attacks: the Great White, Tiger, Bull, and Oceanic Whitetip sharks. These sharks, being large, powerful predators perfectly capable of eating humans, may sometimes attack and kill people, but all of the above sharks, even the Great White, have been filmed in open water, with no cage [3], time and time again, without incident.\n\nThere are many theories about why sharks sometimes attack people. Some claim that the shark is confusing a human for a seal or other prey animal; this would be typical in the case of an attack against a surfer. This is because the shape of a surfer lying on a board closely resembles a seal from beneath the surface. Also, sharks have sensory organs on their nose to pick up electrical signals, such as movement. Often the shark that attacks a human will make only one bite and then go away. This behaviour has many possible explanations, one being that humans don't taste good (or at least, as good), or are lacking the necessary fat, and another being that sharks normally make one swift attack, and then retreat and wait for the victim to die, or exhaust itself, before it comes back to feed. This protects the shark from retribution from a wounded and aggressive target, but also allows humans the time to get out of the water and survive. Another theory is that the electrical receptors, which pick up movement, do not pick up the same signals from a wounded human as they would a wounded seal, and so they are more cautious. In fact, it has recently been shown that surfers do not give off the same electrical signals as seals, or it is thought there would be far more attacks.\n\n \nContrary to popular belief the Great White Shark does not target humans as prey.A number of other species (perhaps 10 - 15) have threatened, attacked, and/or bitten, but not killed large numbers of humans without being obviously provoked. This group contains the Mako, Hammerhead, Gray Reef, Black Tip Reef, Lemon, Silky and Blue sharks. These sharks are also large, powerful predators which can be provoked simply by being in the water at the wrong time and place, but they are normally considered less dangerous to divers and swimmers than the previous group. In most cases, if a person moves away calmly, or remains still, they will be ignored. Many shark species are known to "display" when feeling threatened, and it is ill-advised to remain in the vicinity at such a time as this would generally be considered enough provocation to warrant an attack.\n\nA few other shark species do attack people every year, producing wounds that can potentially kill, but this occurs either specifically because they have been provoked, or through mistaken identity due to water conditions or the like.\n\n[edit]\nSpeed\nIn general, sharks swim ("cruise") at an average speed of 8 kilometers (5 miles) per hour, but when feeding or attacking, the average shark reaches speeds upwards of 19 kilometers (12 miles) per hour. One exception to this generality is the Mako shark, whose speed may range upwards of 48 kilometers (30 miles) per hour. The Mako shark is considered to be the fastest shark and one of the fastest fish. Also the Great White Sh

I always wondered why people called me "sharkbait" when I went swimming.... still can not figure it out... can you help?

I have that fear too. I also don't know exactly what it is called. I fear the drains on the bottom of pools because I fear of being sucked under and not being able to get back up. Don't laugh!! It's true. My favorite water creature is the orca. Ok but I have the fear of swimming in lakes and the ocean because I fear being dragged out and under. I used to love feeling the sand being pulled from under me by the surf... And then I saw the signs posted around the beach. \n\nIf your fears are similar to mine, the it may be the fear of water taking you that you have. Just try not to think about it when you're doing those things. And imagine dolphins doing the can-can!  :)  Be strong!
