BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — News reports say a 23-year-old woman was bitten by a small nurse shark in Boca Raton.
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel http://bit.ly/22bGTSu reported the woman was taken to the hospital by ambulance Sunday with the shark still attached to her arm.
A spokesperson for the Boca Raton Ocean Rescue told the newspaper the woman remained calm and there was a little blood. A splint board was used to support the woman’s arm and the shark as she lay on the stretcher.
The Boca Raton Regional Hospital operator told the AP that the woman had been treated and was in the process of being released Sunday afternoon.

Weird news. Must be a slow news day.
I hope (but do not expect) that the shark was OK.
Poor shark was just exercising its right to keep bare arms.
So much for the theory nurse sharks don’t bite people.
HA!
And like many Second Amendment patriots, he exercised his right to the point where it was detrimental for its health.
