#5 Florida (Mosquitoes)

According to popular culture, you might think that alligators represent the biggest danger in Florida, but the CDC puts nonvenomous insects as the greatest killer. As we said before, sometimes the tiniest insect can be more dangerous than many big and scary wild animals. 

Numerous diseases carried by mosquitoes, including the West Nile virus and feared Eastern equine encephalitis have killed both humans and animals all across the state of Florida.

Wearing bug spray, utilizing mosquito nets, and getting rid of standing water are the easiest ways that can help you stop mosquitoes from biting you. At the same time, these measures decrease their capacity to lay eggs.
