Bears not especially likely to attack menstruating women despite urban legend, report finds
Authorities at Yellowstone National Park released the results of a long-term study that showed there is no link between the likelihood of a woman being attacked by a bear and the point in her menstrual cycle.

ile this one under urban legends: It turns out bears aren't attracted to menstruating women after all.
A Yellowstone National Park report released this year and posted online this week is making headlines for clearing up a popular myth that women who have their periods are a magnet for bear attacks.
That theory was sparked in 1967, according to the report, when two women were attacked and killed by grizzly bears in Glacier National Park.
One of the women was menstruating and the other had tampons, leading the Park Service to begin warning that bears might be drawn to the smell of women on their periods.
This year's report is a synthesis of the past findings on the topic, none of which have proven that menstruating women are bear bait.

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
this is in my OPINION a huge BULLS**T, a 17 y.o. girl in her sleeping bag was attacked several years ago here on Mt. Lemmon AZ., upon the Rangers investigation there was no food or any other items that would attract a bear other than the FACT she was menstruating.

What did they do, hang a bunch on dirty tampons all over the woods to see if the bears were attracted to them???
