Friday afternoon at our beloved land with chess, Scrabble, New Yorker, snacks, libations, bug spray, and a perfect t-shirt asking "bus kya?" 🤗

I used think the same way until I came to the US and went outdoors. And realized why bug spray absolutely has to be a thing here.
Hard to imagine sitting in India, but insects in the US countryside (not cities) are a whole other level dangerous. 😳😳

One Lyme disease scare or one allergic spider bite and you see how real the struggle actually is.
Again, only if you go camping or hiking.
In cities, burbs, not needed.
But DO NOT take American bugs lightly when in the woods. Can literally kill you.

And the reason is simple biology. Most parts of America, even the densely populated northeast, have forest cover on scales we can't even imagine in India. So that leads to a whole other level of insect populations. And dangerous ones, not just mosquitoes.
I often give Olympic medal tally as a parallel.
The insects tally in India versus insects tally in American outdoors is similar to medals tally of India versus medals tally of America.
Those who've experienced outdoors in both countries know what I'm talking about.
