HA! I knew it!! Still unsettling to hear about the spitter, how’d they know just exactly where to look? Talk about your needle in a haystack... I hope everyone will realize that the Everglades and the surrounding wilderness areas are not any kind of place to be for most people. There are lots of native venomous snakes, including pygmy rattlers, coral snakes, diamondbacks and water moccasins. There are now killer bees, caiman, alligators and crocodiles. We do have bears, bob cats and panthers. Wouldn’t want to surprise a skunk, either. So even without the possibility of running across some exotic, it is no place for a picnic, really. Stick to a nice park. The likelihood of getting tagged changing a flat tire or something has got to be pretty remote.
