While in the woods hiking or swimming I really only have to worry about two, maybe three critters. Mountain lions, big, stay in at dawn and dusk, don't act like food. Rattle snakes, most of the time they buzz first. Bears, protect your picnic basket. The rest of the country is loaded with critters that will kill you for having fun outdoors.
