Dorsal Fins and Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions

by Dr. Terence Rhodes

It is no small secret that I have galeophobia. It is a moderate case. It doesn’t keep me from the beach.  My top choice for vacation is the beach. Sun, slumber, sand, and the sound of the crashing waves is a recipe for relaxation. Venturing into the ocean water, however, is a concoction for anxiety. What lurks beneath the waves? 

The phobia of sharks likely comes from my over-consumption of news and media. From “Jaws” to the latest “Sharknado (Sharknado 5: Global Swarming),” sharks have terrorized movie characters and moviegoers alike for decades.
