by mar112

When scuba or snorkling beware of the Sea Urchins. They look pretty but seem to be everywhere. Just walking out to deeper water to swim I stepped on one. There are no signs & if you dont look for them when walking bare foot, you can easily step on one. Hopefully if you do step on one that the spikes do not go in too far. If they do, immediately try to get it out. I know this might sound a bit gross, but they say that if you step on it that urine helps take out the pain. Believe me, its true! This picture was taken underwater in only 4' of water!

Well you have to remember that North America is one of the largest continents on Earth, so all precautions should be taken. Ladies dont walk around on your own at night. Place all valuable out of sight.

by emankinen

As with any big city, be prepared! Watch out for gang activity. Keep a cell phone and something to defend yourself if the need arises. Make sure to keep your car in good working order, having a breakdown in L.A. or Fresno is no fun! It can be downright scarey at times!

Weather in the moutains ANY time of year can turn deadly cold. Be prepared for it.The higher altitude and low humidity in mountains dehydrate a person even if not doing strenuous activities. Drink extra water and then some more.

by jem16

In B.C. watch for rattle-smakes in the national parks and DO NOT FEED THOSE CUTE LITTLE BEAR CUBS that you may see at the side of the road. Momma Bear will be very close by and she can flatten you quickly. An angry Momma Bear is extremely dangerous.

You would have to be caefull if you lived near the shores because a hurricane,twister, or even a tornado will come and strike you. Or if you live in very HOT HOT places a fire can start easily. Anoher danger is driving, you should becareful because the roads are not so great.

by barbb1

If you go to Miami, you need to be sure and know what routes that you need to take and do not get off the beaten path. If you get lost, do not get out and ask questions. Either have a cell phone or find a public place.

by Jmonty6

Be extremely careful not to get off the beaten path while in the French Quarter in New Orleans at night. Stay where there are people and lighted establishments. This has been the murder capital of the US for years. It is a lovely city, you just have to be cautious.

by smallone

North America -isn't- the scary place the news might make it out to be. We're actually a pretty friendly lot. However customs officials can be very frustrating for non-nationals to deal with in airports, particularly if you favor dark/black clothes. Waiting for a bus in the middle of the night -anywhere- is generally a bad idea, regardless of what city you're in, just to be safe.
