Mosquitoes: While small, mosquitoes are responsible for transmitting diseases such as West Nile virus, Zika virus, and various types of encephalitis, making them one of the deadliest animals in terms of human health impact.
White-tailed Deer: Surprisingly, deer are involved in thousands of vehicle collisions annually, leading to injuries and fatalities for both humans and the deer themselves.
Cattle: In rural areas, cattle can pose risks due to incidents involving farm equipment, falls, and handling.
Dogs: Though often pets, dog attacks can cause serious injuries and occasionally fatalities.
Bees and Wasps: Stings from bees and wasps can cause severe allergic reactions, sometimes leading to death in extreme cases.
Sharks: Rarely involved in attacks, sharks attract widespread attention when they do attack humans.
Alligators and Crocodiles: Particularly in southern states, alligators and crocodiles pose risks, especially around waterways.
Snakes: Venomous snake bites are rare but can be dangerous if not treated.
