Mosquito
It might surprise you to read this, but mosquitos are actually one of the most dangerous animals in Australia. Lots of people have gotten Dengue fever, otherwise known as dandy or Breakbone or break-heart fever. People who are infected with the dengue virus will begin feeling sick 3-10 days after the bite. It mostly will feel like the flu, only more intense. The discomfort often will disappear after roughly 7 days. All the same, people infected should see a doctor.

Freshwater Swim Holes
Going for a swim in a freshwater swim hole might sound like a grand idea, but you should think twice about it. Aside from the fact that it’s unsafe due to the lack of lifeguards in the vicinity, swim holes in Australia are rather dangerous. The currents can be swift and hidden in larger rivers, posing a risk for swimmers. Not to mention, diving or jumping in can result in serious injuries since it can be hard to tell the depth of the water before going in. As if that weren’t enough, there could be rocks hidden under the surface of the water.
