The World's Most Dangerous Animal

Think of all the dangerous creatures you know, like sharks, snakes, tigers or even poisonous wasps. None of them, however, rank as "public enemy number one!"

According to Hamlyn's Giant Book of Facts the most dangerous creature world-wide is the common housefly. Through its habit of visiting animal waste and then transferring germs on to the food we eat, the housefly can transmit more disease than any other animal and is responsible for laying low more humans than all other so-called dangerous animals put together.
