Detailed explanation-1: -Along with the myth that sharks can smell blood from miles away, there’s also the myth that sharks go crazy if they smell even a drop of blood. This myth has led to many people being terrified of getting even a tiny cut while in the water. However, the truth is that sharks don’t go crazy as soon as they smell blood.
Detailed explanation-2: -Excited by the scent of blood, a dozen sharks dart about in a frenzy as a researcher dips a pole in the sea and squirts out a clear, yellowish substance. Within seconds, the sharks jerk their snouts away and vanish.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sharks are attracted to human blood They can also detect blood in the water from miles away. Contrary to popular belief, however, sharks are not attracted to human blood. A shark is more likely to be attracted to a bleeding fish or sea lion than a human being with a cut in the ocean.
