      The splash from falling itself already attracted piranhas. Not to count if you are already blooded from the fall

    As a Brazilian, the lore says that piranhas only attack if you are wounded or on the flooding season, most probably, both.
    About Roosevelt story, what he witnessed was a practice called “the piranha bull”, and this was legit! During the late 19th century until 1970’s the most widespread economic activity in the deep Brazil was cattle raising. The roads were nonexistent and the cattle was drived Texan Style through the wilderness, usually until the nearest fluvial harbor. Those small harbors usually could only operate during the wet season, just when the piranhas are more aggressive. And there was a lot of shallow lakes and rivers to pass by, specially in the great wetlands. Ticks were widespread, generating small wounds that could maybe trigger a piranha attack. If this happened to a large number of cows, of course none would die immediately, but could make a cattle stampede and the cowboys would need to gather them again, certainly with significant losses and a big delay. The piranhas bites would also attract even more flies, that could infest those wounds with maggots with also significant economic loss and delay, since the sick cattle would be much slower.
    The solution: when crossing a known piranha insfested water, the cowboys would choose the most old/sick bull or cow, open shallow cuts on its hide and “park” it in the middle of the water to be crossed, only then the main heard would safely cross.
    When possible, the piranha’s bull would be retrieved and killed on the other side of the river, where the cowboys would certainly camp for the night and feast on the sacrificed bull.
    Fun fact: in those “cattle areas” of Brazil the expression “piranha’s bull” is used with a very similar meaning of the expression “scape goat”.

    I can testify for this. I’ve been to the Amazon and swam in piranha infested waters. They really don’t bother you.
    How do I know there where actually piranhas in the water? If you try to fish in the same spot, with a little bit of beef, you feel the line tugging in less then 5 seconds an within a minute you have a piranha attached to your hook.
    Pretty fun experience

      🚀THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world"
      (After Jehovah's work, Jesus became flesh to do His work among people. This is the work for a new age after God ends the Age of Law. When the old age passes, it will be replaced by a new age, and once the old work is completed, a new work will continue the rule of God. This incarnation is the second incarnation of God following the completion of Jesus' work. Every new phase of God's work always brings a new beginning and a new age. When Jesus came to the human world, He brought the Age of Grace and ended the Age of Law. During the last days, the God became flesh again, and when He became flesh this time, He ended the Age of Grace and ushered in the Age of Kingdom. All those who accept God's second incarnation will be taken to Age of the Kingdom, and will personally receive God's guidance. Completely saving man from Satan's influence not only required Jesus to take on man's sins as a sin offering, but also required God to do a greater work to completely rid man of his disposition, which Satan corrupted. All who submit to His dominion will enjoy a higher truth and receive greater blessings. They will truly live in the light, and obtain the truth, the way, and the life.)
      Almighty God said
      After JEHOVAH'S WORK, JESUS became a HUMAN being to do His WORK among PEOPLE. 🙏
      His WORK was NOT carried out SEPARATELY, but BUILT upon JEHOVAH'S WORK. This is WORK for a NEW AGE after GOD ENDS the AGE of LAW. Also, when the work of Jesus was finished, God still continued His work for the next age, because the entire government of God is always progressing forward. ☀️
      When the old age passes, it will be replaced by a new age, and once the OLD WORK is COMPLETED, a NEW WORK will CONTINUE GOD'S RULE. This INCARNATION is the SECOND INCARNATION of GOD FOLLOWING the COMPLETION of the WORK of JESUS. ☀️
      Of course, this incarnation does not happen alone, but it is the THIRD PHASE of WORK after the AGE OF LAW and the AGE OF GRACE. ☀️
      Each NEW PHASE of GOD'S WORK always BRINGS a NEW BEGINNING and a NEW AGE.
      There are also corresponding changes in God's disposition, in His way of doing, in the place of His work, and in His name. 🙏
      No wonder, then, that it is difficult for people to accept God's work in the new age. But regardless of how man opposes Him, God always does His work, and always leads all mankind forward. ☀️
      WHEN JESUS ​​CAME to the WORLD of MAN, He BRINGED the AGE OF GRACE and ENDED the AGE OF LAW. 🙏
      In the TIME of the LAST DAYS, GOD again became FLESH, and when He became FLESH at this time, He ENDED the AGE of GRACE and BRINGED in the AGE of KINGDOM.🙏
      ALL who RECEIVE GOD'S SECOND INCARNATION WILL BE TAKEN INTO the AGE OF THE KINGDOM, and WILL PERSONALLY RECEIVE GOD'S GUIDANCE. ☀️🙏
      Although JESUS ​​DID a LOT with MAN, He only completed the REDEMPTION of ALL MANKIND and became the sacrifice for MAN'S SIN, and did NOT remove from man ALL his BAD DISPOSITIONS. ☀️
      The complete saving of man from SATAN'S INFLUENCE NOT ONLY REQUIRED JESUS ​​to take on MAN'S SINS as a SIN OFFERING, but also REQUIRED GOD to do a GREATER WORK to COMPLETELY rid MAN of his DISPOSITION, which SATAN CORRUPTED. And so, AFTER MAN was FORGIVEN of his SINS, GOD RETURNED to the HUMAN BODY to LEAD man into a NEW AGE, and BEGAN the WORK of CHASTISEMENT and JUDGMENT, and this WORK BROUGHT MAN to a more HIGH COVERAGE. ☀️
      ALL WHO SUBMIT to His DOMINION WILL ENJOY a HIGHER TRUTH and RECEIVE GREATER BLESSINGS. They will REALLY LIVE in the LIGHT, and GET the TRUTH, the WAY, and the LIFE. 💐🙏

    I did a voluntary year in Peru and on weekends we often went to a nearby lake for swimming that also had piranhas living in it. Over the course of a year we had it like two to three times that one of the fish would try snacking on someones toe. That would then cause a small wound but by all means wasn‘t enough to bite the toe off or anything. And it surely wasn‘t enough to keep us from swimming there.

They swim better than you, can quickly figure out if there's something actually dangerous in the water (giant otter families scare off jaguars that can break open turtle shells), eat piranhas from time to time (part of local catch that people don't buy from fishers). We had a hanging mask made out of wood, seeds, fish scales and piranha mandibles.

      🚀THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world"
      (After Jehovah's work, Jesus became flesh to do His work among people. This is the work for a new age after God ends the Age of Law. When the old age passes, it will be replaced by a new age, and once the old work is completed, a new work will continue the rule of God. This incarnation is the second incarnation of God following the completion of Jesus' work. Every new phase of God's work always brings a new beginning and a new age. When Jesus came to the human world, He brought the Age of Grace and ended the Age of Law. During the last days, the God became flesh again, and when He became flesh this time, He ended the Age of Grace and ushered in the Age of Kingdom. All those who accept God's second incarnation will be taken to Age of the Kingdom, and will personally receive God's guidance. Completely saving man from Satan's influence not only required Jesus to take on man's sins as a sin offering, but also required God to do a greater work to completely rid man of his disposition, which Satan corrupted. All who submit to His dominion will enjoy a higher truth and receive greater blessings. They will truly live in the light, and obtain the truth, the way, and the life.)
      Almighty God said
      After JEHOVAH'S WORK, JESUS became a HUMAN being to do His WORK among PEOPLE. 🙏
      His WORK was NOT carried out SEPARATELY, but BUILT upon JEHOVAH'S WORK. This is WORK for a NEW AGE after GOD ENDS the AGE of LAW. Also, when the work of Jesus was finished, God still continued His work for the next age, because the entire government of God is always progressing forward. ☀️
      When the old age passes, it will be replaced by a new age, and once the OLD WORK is COMPLETED, a NEW WORK will CONTINUE GOD'S RULE. This INCARNATION is the SECOND INCARNATION of GOD FOLLOWING the COMPLETION of the WORK of JESUS. ☀️
      Of course, this incarnation does not happen alone, but it is the THIRD PHASE of WORK after the AGE OF LAW and the AGE OF GRACE. ☀️
      Each NEW PHASE of GOD'S WORK always BRINGS a NEW BEGINNING and a NEW AGE.
      There are also corresponding changes in God's disposition, in His way of doing, in the place of His work, and in His name. 🙏
      No wonder, then, that it is difficult for people to accept God's work in the new age. But regardless of how man opposes Him, God always does His work, and always leads all mankind forward. ☀️
      WHEN JESUS ​​CAME to the WORLD of MAN, He BRINGED the AGE OF GRACE and ENDED the AGE OF LAW. 🙏
      In the TIME of the LAST DAYS, GOD again became FLESH, and when He became FLESH at this time, He ENDED the AGE of GRACE and BRINGED in the AGE of KINGDOM.🙏
      ALL who RECEIVE GOD'S SECOND INCARNATION WILL BE TAKEN INTO the AGE OF THE KINGDOM, and WILL PERSONALLY RECEIVE GOD'S GUIDANCE. ☀️🙏
      Although JESUS ​​DID a LOT with MAN, He only completed the REDEMPTION of ALL MANKIND and became the sacrifice for MAN'S SIN, and did NOT remove from man ALL his BAD DISPOSITIONS. ☀️
      The complete saving of man from SATAN'S INFLUENCE NOT ONLY REQUIRED JESUS ​​to take on MAN'S SINS as a SIN OFFERING, but also REQUIRED GOD to do a GREATER WORK to COMPLETELY rid MAN of his DISPOSITION, which SATAN CORRUPTED. And so, AFTER MAN was FORGIVEN of his SINS, GOD RETURNED to the HUMAN BODY to LEAD man into a NEW AGE, and BEGAN the WORK of CHASTISEMENT and JUDGMENT, and this WORK BROUGHT MAN to a more HIGH COVERAGE. ☀️
      ALL WHO SUBMIT to His DOMINION WILL ENJOY a HIGHER TRUTH and RECEIVE GREATER BLESSINGS. They will REALLY LIVE in the LIGHT, and GET the TRUTH, the WAY, and the LIFE. 💐🙏
