Just about every place in the world has predators of some kind. If it's not gators, then it's snakes, or killer bees, or any number of things that can kill people.

 

The area where I live near San Francisco is called the red triangle, and about 40% of all of the shark attacks in the US happen here.

 

I've seen them from boats while fishing and saw many big sharks when I used to SCUBA dive in the area.

What there,s bugs in Florida ffs I did,nt know.... I dont like bugs either but its no worse where im at ....Only been sent to the hospital once from fire ants (1982) when I lived here and only bitten once by a recluse since I have been back (5 years) other then that all is normal to me

Here outside of Chicago there really not much to worry about. no sharks,bears,wolfs,giants killer wasps,poisonous fish/jellyfish/snakes,ect.  besides some spiders that will mess up your day like the wolf spider, we really only got a couple thinks to worry about, thats the black widow, which is very rear someone getting bite by. But the brown recluse it the one to look out for around here, a co-worker got bite in the leg and it fucked him up good!! it's always on my mind when i have to work in dark craw spaces and attics in old homes at work....

The last time I was in Florida about 10 years ago we were swimming in an indoor pool with a screened in enclosure and getting eaten alive by no-seeums. Tiny little fucking bugs that you literally could not see.

 

The next day we were playing golf at TPC and a swarm of bugs I think they called yellow flies descended on us and just started biting the hell out of everybody. We all hopped in our golf carts and headed back to the clubhouse.  That same day my brother hit a ball on the edge of a water hole and was trying to get it with a club when a 3 foot gator let him know that wasn't a good idea.
