[[Many strains of bacteria can cause flesh eating disease and even a simple scrape can lead to it.]]

He looks like he’d be Randy Macho Man Savage’s cousin or brother. FYI Randy Savage was from Florida so maybe he is the original Florida Man.

I remember growing up without AC in Florida.
We got our first window unit about 1966.
It went in our parents bedroom window.
I couldn’t understand why then.
I eventually had to explain it to my youngest brother ( born about 10 months after the AC was installed) when he got old enough.
Scout summer camp was fun in Florida. 3 sided cabins so we would get a breeze and mosquitoes. I bought a jungle hammock with my lawn mowing earnings. This summer because of the heavy rains, the ants are moving indoors, and I’m noticing more wasps. Spiders appear to be down.

adjust for and mitigate such a change!!!!

For that the climate ghouls have Rachel Carson to help their cause.

... Oops. Sorry.

That response was meant for some idiot at MSNBC, who referred to a Republican’s comments that there were only two genders as “incendiary.” That’s what happens when you have to Free Republic windows open and get them mixed up. :-)

".... Many strains of bacteria can cause flesh eating disease and even a simple scrape can lead to it...."

And the point is?

Florida and the South have always had nasty bugs and critters. I got into a nest of chiggers camping in Missouri one time and thought I was going to die from itching.

None of this can be traced to global warming or Florida.

...and Florida is coming off the hottest July, after the hottest June, after the hottest May in 125 years of record keeping

In the history of the history of history.

It's like the surface of the Sun in Florida.

If Floridaman wasn't protecting all the Floridians, there's no telling WHAT the death toll would be...
