Hello everyone! My fiance and I are planning to visit here during the second week of October. We have done some research and have found out about the vibrio bacteria and are a little concerned about our trip, is this a very common bacteria to catch? We are coming from a land locked state and don't have much information about this. Any information or tips are appreciated. Additionally, if there is anything you think we should definitely do when we are there, please let us know!

Im current pregnant and visiting Florida for a while, the noseeums are so bad that I'm covered in bites even though Ive tried Sprays with DEET, noseeum repellants sold on the island, and essential oils that are supposed to repel them and NOTHING if anything THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO ME 😭 my boyfriend barely used any repellent and doesn't nearly have as many bites as me. I know pregnancy makes me a bug magnet but damn I don't know what to do I can't enjoy the beach without constant fear of getting more bites. I'm so itchy and nothing's helping. Does anyone know any other tricks or sprays to help 🫠

Would love to see this place get more business - they are the best breakfast/brunch on the islands and a few of their musicians are very talented (Royce Allgood!).
