They do occur but not like other parts of the state. I guess you can never tell with Mother Nature! I plan visiting soon and can’t wait to see all the beauty you have talked about in NC!

Poison ivy is no joke! Some people are lucky to be totally immune to it. Unfortunately I am very sensitive to poison ivy, I would have a bad outbreak of it at least once a year for several years. One natural remedy to poison ivy is jewel weed! You can make a brew of jewel weed, freeze it into ice cubes, and apply it to where it's bothering you.

We have snakes. If you want to avoid them it's best to live in an area that isn't near forest or water. They can be everywhere, but pretty uncommon closer to the downtowns. It's really not a huge deal. Most people rarely see snakes. They are more common when on the greenways, hiking, and in nature.

I grew up in N.C., and I disagree about what you said about North Carolinians holding their tongue LOL. I thought to myself, is he talking about N.C., or S.C.? LOL I'm not sure where you grew up, but I think that depends on what city you live in, and prob. happens in the very rural small towns. Definitely not the bigger cities in N.C. For the most part people in N.C. are straight-forward and direct with what they want, and how they feel, especially at restaurants.
