>>460065>. First, because theres not as many things that want to bite and infect me with diseases,I found that rainforest had way fewer biting bugs than boreal, and the further north you go the worse it gets. You can catch more and nastier diseases in the tropics, true, but I've slept outdoors in a hammock with no net in central America. No way could I do that in northern Ontario during bug season.
Picture related, fucking horseflies take a chunk out of you.
