Can one visit the Everglades in the summer?

Question

I've heard the insects will eat you alive and the humidity is oppressive. But I will be in Florida for 9 days at the end of July and I've always wanted to go there. Is it doable?

Answer 1

There are people who live there year round, of course. I would recommend you have an experienced guide, however, as they will know how to cope with the insects, heat and humidity, not to mention any other hazards.
