Can a shark sense when a woman is on her period? Does it attract them, you know the scent, the blood? They do have keen sense of smells for miles so whats the deal?

Yes. Sharks have a keen sense of smell, and blood happens to be a very attractive odor—they can sniff out even a tiny amount diluted into a large body of water. Sharks also use sight and hearing to detect their prey. A splashing sound might tempt them, as would the sight of a flailing animal. In particular, hungry sharks like to hear low-frequency, irregular sounds, like those made by a struggling fish.
Kind regards

I've heard that yes they can. They can smell the blood in the water that's what attracts them. They have a keen sense of smell.
