http://www.wideopencountry.com/u-s-map-shows-deadliest-animal-in-each-state/snip: "If you think poisonous spiders and snakes are the deadliest animals in the country, you may be surprised. As it turns out, you’re more likely to be killed by a cow" Crushed or bitten by large reptile for Illinois? that doesn't seem to fit, unless they consider the politicians as reptiles

I know that if I die by animal it is either going to be my dog or my cat or possibly the two working in tandem. They lay in on or around the top step of the stairway and I will likely be found some day at the bottom of that stairway having either been tripped or after falling in an attempt not to step on them.

"Crushed or bitten by large reptile for Illinois?"
Downstate has a lot of poisonous snakes, rattlers and copperheads, but I would bet that deer kill far more. I think we have about 15,000 deer-related crashes a year.

CompliantOkie, there are more than scorpions in that category. It includes all venomous insects like ants, centipedes, millipedes, caterpillar, as well as, wasp/hornets/bees (although they have a separate category for some reason).

The most dangerous of all the Cobras are the Shelby Cobras. They strike fast and hard.

^^^True! Say it ain't so...I never met a poisonous or dangerous millipede! !!! I had to look it up..I didn't know this and have never seen this result from handling them either. Millipedes are not poisonous, but many species have glands capable of producing irritating fluids that may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. The defensive sprays of some millipedes contain hydrochloric acid that can chemically burn the skin and cause long-term skin discoloration.

I agree with CompliantOkie. I have lived in Texas all my life and have come across a scorpion only twice. My research reveals that there are only two species of scorpions can inflict stings which result in death of normal healthy humans: the Israeli deathstalker and the Brazilian yellow scorpion. I HAVE been stung by a scorpion....on my finger....was quite painful, but very little swelling....more like a wasp sting. For Texas, I would say, some sort of snake, or possibly a mountain lion would be the most deadly. We have rattlesnakes (9 different species), though most people don't die from the bite, cottonmouths (aka water moccasins), coral snakes and copperheads. However, more people die from lightening strikes than venomous snake bites in Texas.
