A Tennessee woman concerned about the recent spate of shark attacks in neighboring North Carolina took to social media to make a humorous public service announcement.

In her “Summer Safety Tips” Facebook video that has generated over 6 million views, Veronica-Pooh Nash Poleate says that despite being able to swim, she won’t be going into the ocean.

"I'm not going to the ocean because that's the shark's house. The shark has the right to eat you up if you in his house. When chickens come in my house, guess what? They get ate. When pigs come in my house, they on the plate. So when you go in the shark's house, you gonna get ate up," Poleate says in the video.

Poleate applied the same rules to bears, warning people not to go into the woods.

On Poleate’s Facebook page, she has posted a series of videos where she discusses a variety of topics, many of which appear to be filmed while she’s driving in her car.
