No. Here's a page of relative statistics from the University of Florida.

Just don't go to Destin, i've been stung by either several eels, or a really big jelly fish, hurt like a mother. But just stay up closer to the beach area, and go where there's alot of other people. You'll be fine.
As for Destin, that's where i got stung, and i've seen tons of fish, sting rays, eels, jellies, and a baracuda once. Too much for me, but the crowd out there helps me forget about it, so i still go out.
