Danger Zone
In addition to mosquitos, I know learn that the Adder or Common Viper (Vipera berus) is a resident of northern Finland. We have to stop at a store before we leave to purchase anti-venom 'just in case'.
The Viper is the only poisonous snake found in Finland. It is very dangerous only to small children, old and weak people and those who are allergic to viper poison, but every one who has been bitten must see a doctor immediatelly. Last time a Common Viper caused a death in Finland was in 1984.
Gee willagers.
I'm not old (yet), young (shut up), or weak (i said shut up).
But yet I worry.
Tarja said that it's difficult to find a doctor up there when you need one for that.
Greeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaat.
