I was swarmed by a biblical quantity of gnats in Florida’s Everglades

No doubt the Florida Department of Tourism greatly appreciates this vlog. The day Viva became Florida Man.

You are hilarious. I’m dying at Marion’s comment…”how many are inside of you?” 😂😂😂

[@blakej6416]

In the late 1990s, I went on a whitewater rafting trip in Utah. We came to a campground in the badlands that also looked like it was covered in a dome of smoke. When we got closer we discovered it wasn't smoke - or gnats - but mosquitoes! Thank god the trip organizers had planned ahead and brought the proper gear, but it was insane!

[@Deanekels]

Have you encountered the Love bugs? That's fun. Also, an outdoor shower in south Florida is a must.

[@showaltermicro]

super bad on a motorcycle

[@travizzivart]

Lovebugs be nasty all over everything. 🤢

[@JulieMelberg]

What's worse, in Minnesota, don't go by ponds in the spring. My dog and I were covered in tics! 😮

[@anneliecompagner5025]

What an experience LOL! 😂Biblical proportions indeed! You are hilarious and pure in how you present yourself. My compliments. Great example as a father.

[@Verb130]

Welcome to Summer in Florida. I've lived on the Gulf Coast from Texas to Florida my whole life. Don't move to Florida if you can't deal with hot humidity, bugs, and gators.

[@lisaowen6103]

Let's not forget hurricanes 🌀

[@lansingstlady]

ha-ha....the ending!

[@YesItsReallyKeith]

woohoo there's a gnat !! LOL !!!

[@wilburrrrr742]

When you ride alongside the swamp, you get what the swamp has to offer. It's pretty self- explanatory. Like when you move next to the airport, you're gonna have jet noise.

[@rustierone]

You are lucky you didn't run into mosquitoes. This time of year they will take a pint - and they do shots of DEET before they bite you. Best to visit the Glades in the winter.

[@sandrabeasley8749]

I know I shouldn't laugh but when I saw you face think this should be entered, I can't stop watching it 😂

[@StacySelah]

I’m in Thonotosassa Florida & we got em bad here too….cant even enjoy this nice steaming weather outside for ah minute! Have fun! Shalom!

[@mwindanji6714]

Poor Viva, the germaphobe. Somebody point him in the direction of the nearest outdoor store, where he can buy a mosquito net head covering. Love how junior just noped out of there 😂

[@John-ko2hq]

LOL I do not mean to laugh but dude , your freaking out is funny as hell....Love the show BTW thank you! Been watching since before the drone fishing!!!

[@M-Is-For-Margaret]

On one hand, I wish I was in Florida. On the other hand, I am thankful I am not in Florida. 😅😂😂

[@Sentientheat]

So sorry V, laughing my ass off.

[@joythomas4362]

I love this video. You look very funky covered with gnats.🤣🤣🤣.

[@melonyrichards937]

They used to spray for mosquitoes too. They say they do but they don't . They never ever spray our neighborhood no more. In Tampa.

[@alanholck7995]

Entomologist here - that is a mating swarm. You messed up ‘adult time’ for a bunch of them.

[@lisaowen6103]

🎼 Let's get it on...🎶 Sing the gnats..... And Marvin Gaye .👨🏾‍🎤

[@therosarylady]

Hilarious ending! That would freak me out 😮

[@Chelle.my.belle5]

LOL they didn’t want to hose you down. OMG, this is the stuff of nightmares!😮

[@jamesnabors3643]

We had a van that was late coming back from the area near the everglades. three hours after the expected time, the van arrived, driver window open and the driver hanging out. The layer of bug splatter on the front windshield was so thick it buried the wipers. Took hours to scrape it enough to drive again.

[@justinbartlett4711]

This is why I stick to the coast when the wind is blowing. Fishing + fewer bugs. You can't get rid of them but you can mitigate :)

[@fragelicious]

Half the battle of living in Florida is the critters.

[@emanueladelisi2345]

Ethan's why what happened is exactly the reaction that I would have had! Lol

This wasn't in ancient Egypt, was it?

[@JohnDoe-og2bt]

I have to go into this for land surveys, its no joke lol

[@jmr5707]

Welcome to Florida😆😂 Weapons grade buggage!

[@RyDeezy]

Brother, I had the same experience going out on a run. The way back it was about 6pm and they were everywhere and that's near a main road. Same face and arms and had em in my mouth, because running.

[@janets6474]

That's absolutely disgusting!! 😵‍💫😳🤢

[@Objective-Observer]

Well, at least they aren't Canadian Black Flies. I've seen bush crafters have to wear bee hoods to keep away from those biting black flies.

[@seagravity]

might be the one time you want to wear a mask..

[@smoothwake]

Here in Fort Myers the gnats have been swarming pretty bad for the last few weeks. So much that I haven’t been taking the old T-top Camaro out cause I don’t want to inhale them at a stoplight.

[@jenniferbyork690]

We have biting ones too 🤣

[@DixieChiweenie88]

Goggles, bug spray, long sleeve shirt goes a long way.

[@TheFamilyChef65]

I can't stop scratching myself. I'm going for a haircut, right now.

[@showaltermicro]

priceless lol - one thing I hated about the South

[@hoppie8693]

I'll never go to Florida. I'd probably have dunked my head into the water and gotten eaten by a gator.

[@imperiencypher5584]

OMG!

[@Rock_Girl_Daze]

You might want to observe, and possibly treat the surrounding plants.

[@YesItsReallyKeith]

been there while jogging... not that bad though !lol !! I used to tell my mrs. at the time more protein for the gnats that I swallowed !!!

[@user-wv2yl7ek7r]

I thought they were bad in Texas. You poor thing! 😮

[@trammie]

There's a gnat! 🤣

[@pokerdealer2003]

love the state but screw having nets around your house because of bugs, Absolutely love my PNW no bug screens no chiggers, we have a few ticks and some mosquitoes but can sit on our patio screen free.

[@ravenrock541]

Txt me next time you get a great idea about Florida. I could have warned you. At dusk it will be mosquitoes. And in winter, its No-See-Ems. P.S. Do Not Go Swimming In The Water!

[@brianmc7292]

Had same thing happen last year while on run along c14 canal

[@michaelblattau4176]

Now you don't need lunch.

[@chrisinhotwater9896]

It lease it was not mosquitos. or no see-ems. Out on Tampa bay back in the mangroves I have seen clouds of mosquitos like that.

[@gr8tang378]

LOL welcome to Florida some more. Be glad it wasn't bees Bro! I have seen bee clouds before and they are terrifying

[@buzzardhead3]

Duh LoL welcome to Florida. Deep woods off, or cutter will stop them from biting you but not if you've run into a cloud of them, even the kids know that. Everybody's body is different so you have to figure out whether it's off or cutter that works for you.

[@julie3895]

I used deep woods off on loop rd last week and was destroyed my mosquitoes and green flies. Gonna try tallow based repellent next.

[@melbatoast6403]

Suddenly masks have a purpose again. 🤣🤣🤣

[@richardnone5644]

holy shit its gnat man

[@MrT13]

Lol yea when I go anywhere near an actual swamp, like the levee your on next to Arthur r. I wear a suit during the summer. You are literally in between old woods and a national swamp lol.

[@kimmer6]

There's a gnat? More like a banana slug. Be careful with the cold water. It might turn inside out.

[@MattCabosca]

In the near future, they're supposed to be on your plate, not so much on your skin.

[@legalbeagle6853]

still laughing my butt off. But when you get cleaned off can you look up the definition of microscopic?

[@knine8154]

Welcome to the south, canuck

[@brianczuhai8909]

Just think how many gnats you breathed into your lungs. Wear a covid mask. Probably a nice ride at the appropriate time of year. Black Flies used to be terrible in Michigan UP this time of year. I prefer my bikes with motors on them.

[@bjs301]

I used to fish in Quebec, and got eaten by black flies. I never got to the UP, but the lakes around Alpena were pretty bad too.

[@brianczuhai8909]

@@bjs301 Yes. Which is why I bring it up, and he could relate to. Head nets were required. Ma Nature has been out there longer than man has. Stop the whining.
