Woman's arm severed by alligator. How to be safe where gators are

A woman swimming in the Silver River near Ocala nearly died on Aug. 8 after an alligator bit her arm and dragged her underwater, reports said. She survived when a nearby boater pulled her out and applied a tourniquet, but the attack cost her the limb. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said it believes a 9-foot, 8-inch alligator has been captured and euthanized. The incident comes as Florida sees multiple recent attacks, with three people bitten within a week and another woman killed while swimming in the Econlockhatchee River north of Orlando. The article cites FWC data: the odds of serious injury in an unprovoked bite are 1 in 3.1 million.
