Is there any dangers on the beaches that nudity increases the risk of? I was thinking specifically of if there's a possibility fish biting guys. Is that an actual concern or myth?

Well, I didn't have any problem when I was at a nude beach a couple of months ago. I don't think it's much more dangerous than having something on.

I don't think it matters. If there is something in the water that wants to bite you, it will, whether you're wearing something or not.

I beg to differ... We have a lagoon here that has a large amount of Blue Gills they really seem to like nipples. I personnaly haven't had the unpleasant experience but many of our friends have. As a result most will stay on some sort of floaty and not be swimming.

I have been told to watch the snapping turtles and other creatures in the water, but never gave it much thought. There is usually too much movement of the rest of me to make my dangly bits attractive as a potential food source.
But! I did find out the the perch in Texas lakes are attracted to bright things. Back, when I still had tan lines, the little pests would constantly nibble at my bottom.
I have run into jellyfish, man-o-war, various crab species, etc. But what I was or wasn't wearing was never a factor.

Here is a serious problem that nudity does not change, either way. Diwbetics are strongly advied to NEVER go to a beach, as the infection dangers arde horrendous. I know a lady who lost half her foot from stepping on a tiny piece of seashell that she never noticed directly
Beach sand, at its best is worse than the bacteria levels that would get a baach closed qas haszardous. Experiments with multiple truckloads of sterilized sand show that it reaches background bacteria levels within two days in warm weather.
The other warning I spread around is that diabetics should avoid HOT TUBS. I picked up an infection, and lost my left leg near the knee. What more can I say? It isn't worth the risk for a full-blown diabetic!

I know of a hazard that being naked will help with. Sea Lice will get traped under your swimsuit and sting, then remain in your swimsuit till it is washed.

It can be quite dangerous to go swimming in the Pacific Ocean on the western U.S. coast in some areas. You might find yourself being pulled under the water by the tide. It's only 55 degrees in this water to boot.

No I don't know of any increased risks from eing nude at a beach but there are some risks at any beach. I saw they are having an invasion of Flying Humbolt Squid in Southern California they even attacked a female diver. I doubt it would make dfference if you are nude or not.

I remember an incident several years ago at a California club's small lake when a member was nipped by a fish on the end of his penis. He wasn't hurt, but had to put up with the other members' jokes about the fish mistaking it for a worm!

What about sun block or sun screen? The higher the SPF the better...but what about spray vs. lotion? I tried a spray this past summer as I was going alone and thought a spray would get my back better. I didn't burn in the three times I went but a bottle of spray does not last as long and they are fairly pricy...compared to lotions. What does everyone else use? Don't need to use brand names...just which do people prefer...spray or lotion?

That would make a great new topic. A good place to put it would be here.
Let's keep this thread on topic. The topic here is Water Hazards.

Sorry about that. I'm new to the site and still learning my way around. Depending on how you come on to a thread does make a difference. I thought I was just posting under Safety at the beach...didn't notice the sub header. Thanks for the link...I will see if that answers my questions.

To get back on track a little...has anyone ever been stung by a jellyfish? I developed an itchy rash (where I don't want an itchy rash) last Sept. after a visit to Gunnison. Tried treating over the counter because I just thought it was a rash or sunburn. Didn't go away, so I ended up going to the Dr. and he gave me some steroidal cream and it finally cleared up. Read a post somewhere about jellyfish and the symptoms of getting stung were very similar to what I had. Just wondering if anyone else knows what it is like to get stung...I'm only assuming that might be what happened to me...but can't say for sure as I don't remember seeing any jellyfish in the water.

Free2b,
You would know for sure if it had been a jellyfish. It would have been like a hot poker being stuck to you and it would not have stopped till you removed the jelly by rubbing it off with sand or washing it off with vinegar.
