Well, I'll "bite" 
12" sharpnose shark swung around when I was trying to revive it (after some idiots caught it and were dragging it through the sand on the beach, then left it to die), turned out it had some spunk left in it and skinned a bit of my left palm off. Ended up getting an infection in there actually (this was like 6 months ago). Luckily the shark survived though
Other than that, all the usual stuff. Snakes, lizards, random fish, wasps, spiders, etc. And I got shocked by a stargazer once, and a few gafftopsail catfish spines to the foot on a trip to Florida. Yet to be stung by a stingray but I've pushed my luck a few times, lol.

I forgot to mention I got bit by a night octopus(Callistoctopus ornatus) on my forearm. Granted I was in the process of loading it into a dive bag. It barely broke skin but still counts as a bite lol. the day takos never seems to bite but the night tako different story
I live far from any malaria areas
there are just so many of the suckers and i often get an allergic reaction with increased swelling
Oh well that's good, sucks about the allergy part.I live far from any malaria areas

I get swarmed at my cabin while I'm night fishing
All of which scare the hell out of me, rattlesnakes don't bother me at all, just stay away from the sharp end, but I truly detest water moccasins, aggressive bastards, and they can get really big
Been chased by one or two before, they're some crazy sons of *****es. They don't really seem to be scared of anything, it's like they have learned that they can bite and kill pretty much anything in their range if they really want to.
Cape Cobras are scary, i encountered one before and it was standing 2 feet in the air. Looking me straight in the eyes, i turned around very quickly and ran off.
Atleast they dont chase you, but i have heard of black mambas chasing and that would be mega scary
