Will I be eaten alive by insects and jungle snakes?

Mosquitoes and sand flies (tiny black guys) are here as one would expect in a healthy tropical ecosystem. However, they are quite mild and their annoyance is easily mitigated. Best defense is to wear long pants and put on insect repellent (we find that lemongrass, citronella and lemon eucalyptus work great).
