Texas teen bitten by barracuda in popular vacation spot after bracelet glints in water

A Texas teenager is recovering after being bitten by a barracuda while vacationing in Turks and Caicos. Sugar Land resident Claire Macdonel, 13, was swimming in shallow water when the fish bit her hand on Sunday, July 19. The teen was wearing a shiny bracelet on one of her wrists — which likely reflected light and was mistaken by the barracuda for prey.
