Question

i have heard that more people dyeing every year of eating shark s then , being eaten by sharks

Answer 1

Here is one possibility:

"Eating shark meat may expose you to potentially dangerous, high levels of the metal mercury. While a certain amount of mercury in the environment is natural, a growing worldwide pollution, especially of our oceans, appears to be increasing the risk of high mercury levels in some of the fish we eat.

Too much mercury in one's diet from any source can cause loss of coordination, blindness or even death. "

And:

"Prof. Dr. Klaus Heumann from the University in Mainz, the inventor of the newly patented method of analysis, has found an alarming concentration of up to 1,400 micro grams of methyl-mercury in one kilogram (2.2 lbs) of blue shark steak. That means that a normal portion of 250 grams could contain 350 micrograms of the deadly poison. "

Answer 2

There is no reliable information on people dying after a shark meat meal.
