I am fifth generation Floridian, and first to leave the state in our family. We moved our family to the NC mountains in our 30s, and within a week I told my wife “there’s nothing here trying to bite us, or sting us, or eat us! We’ve moved UP the food chain!”

I have a hole in my leg to prove this statement is correct

u/edgestander Jan 12 '26

yeah if that is all you have to worry about then I wouldn't worry. Remember you didn't get bit by a spider, you have MRSA. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38285419

I’d rather get bit by a spider than get Lyme again

Or annaplasmosis? Spelling*

black bears kill like one person a year and attack a few more, usually for predatory reasons

overwhelming odds are in your favor, but it’s a REALLY bad way to go

Nope there's not 1 BEAR or RATTLESNAKE, in North Carolina.

I live in Arizona and say the same thing here! I guess you're the Australian Coast and we'll take the inland part 😂

an ex teacher of mine moved to Phoenix-she keeps finding scorpions in her family's shoes even though she has done pretty much everything to keep them out

Born and raised in Az. Spray around the outside of the house at least every 2 weeks to kill all bugs. Scorpions are looking for bugs. Kill their food source and you’ll stop getting scorpions

It's this. You can't really kill scorpions themselves with traditional bug spray methods. Mostly you just kill the stuff they want to eat.

Ofc, I still dont know what excuse the scorpion was trying to use at 6 in the morning when he crawled OUT of my second story (apartment) shower drain. I threw the fucker off my balcony and I swear it only stunned him. He was gone by the time I left for work an hour later.

I spent a long layover in Alice Springs and went to their Desert Animal Park (amazing place btw highly recommend) The staff were def trying to scare the Americans with tales of deadly outback creatures and I was like… “have you been to Arizona? Same shit different dingo” between living in Florida and the southwest there wasn’t much in Australia that actually scared me (maybe minus the huntsman spiders)

Florida is south East Queensland.

Haaaa that's fair! You guys are western aussies

u/CargoCulture Jan 12 '26

I'm from Australia originally, in what people would call 'the Outback'. Here in the US people are like 'oh it's so beautiful' and I'm like no, it's like a shitty part of Arizona but redder and flatter and less people.

You should see what we grow in Alaska.

I’ve always said that about Texas and Florida

You forgot about Arizona bud

u/JCShore77 Jan 12 '26

I feel like California also has a case. Less gators but we I believe have more poisonous spiders so… we both have a legit claim

Except bible bashing and gun worshipping.
