When animals attack...I once, accidentally, punched a racoon.
It had wandered into my tent, I was half asleep and thought it was a mate pratting around. There was a yelp and then all hell broke loose.
What have you been attacked by?

evil gnatsReally, really didn't get on well with heights as a nipper, so naturally my parents always thought it a great idea to take me hill walking in Wales. Big buggers too - on this occasion it took us hours to get anywhere near the top, but being mummy and daddy's brave little soldier, I ran on ahead for the last bit to be "king of the castle" to dad's "dirty rascal".
However, hovering at the top was the most enormous and densely packed cloud of gnats I've ever seen, which suddenly dispersed and engulfed, freaking me out so much that I ran off screaming, not paying any real attention to where I was running to. So, I missed my footing, went tumbling down about a third of the height of the entire hill, and ended up in a bed of the tallest, bushiest, nettliest nettles I've ever seen. Stings absolutely everywhere, including my bell end and inside my mouth, ears and nose. I was bathing in Dettol for a month after that.
