natures shark repellent

Over the centuries humans have tried different strategies to protect themselves from sharks.Butit's no secret that shark repellents simply don't work.But now scientists have learned,from a lowely fish no less,that repelling a shark is as simple as washing his mouth with soap-released from a squirt gun,of course.

The Moses sole,a slow swimming,apperently defensless little fish,lives in the Red Sea.What puzzled scientists was that such seemingly easy prey never seemed to be bothered by predators.Researchers wanted to know what the Moses sole's secret was,so they offered one to a sharks in a laboratory tank,knowing that sharks will eat anything.Sure enough,the sharks grabbed the sole, but just as quickly they let go.More study showed that the sole releases a milky,detergent-like substance from the pores in its skin.As soon as the shark got a little of the detergent in its mouth,it wanted nothing more to do with the sole.

While the soles detergent is poisonous,researchers found that it's the detergent not the poison that drives the sharks away.They have found that a commercially availavle detergnt works even better then the sole's defense.

Just as the shark cannot be tamed,neither can our sinful deeds.This is why God encourages us to stay away from opportunities to sin.He doesn;t want us to suffer the necessary consequences of sin.
