    Lol … I was born and raised in northern Ontario. I’m indigenous and I’ve spent a lot of time in the northern wilderness which has lots and lots of swamp land and in the summer hosts billions of biting insects.

    My parents were born in the bush so life out there was normal for us.

    I remember spending summers out camping in July with clouds of black flies, mosquitoes, deer flies, midges and sand flies… when we drank a cup of tea by the fire, you first had to skim off the drowning insects before taking a sip.

    I think one fly in your wine is OK
