Re: Rarity of bites.
I did a quick net search and found out basically nothing.
That should indicate a pretty rare occurrence if no one is keeping count.
That being said, I have personal knowledge that they can become aggressive through having been treed two or three times (when I was a kid growing up on the King Ranch in Texas). It wasn't too difficult to wait 'til they lost interest and moved on; their attention-span seems to be limited.
I have an acquaintance, however, in the Texas Hill country who was bitten by one and he had serious complications and still has problems with his leg and the bite occurred 20+ years ago.
So, I think it may be one of those "...it ain't about the odds, it's about the outcome..." things.
Pretty much summed up with don't mess with them.
