You forgot to mention the gigantic, aggressive bugs. I spent one summer at NTSU and the humidity was horrid. Between the heat and the inhospitable wildlife, I am convinced I don’t want to live there. I made my TX husband promise me that I never have to do so. ;)
Fire ants, water moccasins, mean-as-hell wild boar, 110 in the shade; even our roses have thorns all over them.
