Victims of shark attack suffer from exhaustion, blood loss, and the effects of near drowning. The bite usually affect a limb, creating incising and crushing wounds to the victim. These people sometimes sustain loss of muscle, but rarely bone fractures. During the first half of the twentieth century, victims of shark attacks rarely survived their trauma, but improved methods for treating shock and improved antibiotics ensure that victims can recover from the attacks, assuming hemorrhage is controlled as soon as possible. |
