8. The Nice Summer Weather Brings Clouds of Bugs
The joke in Canada is that the mosquito is our national bird. During mosquito season, (which lasts from when it stops being cold to when it starts being cold again) you don’t want to go outside without a hefty spritz of bugspray.
There are also horseflies, deer flies and 165 species of blackflies in Canada. These little monsters travel in swarms, eat a chunk out of your skin, and at the same time can infect you with diseases and/or encephalitis.
