Needless to say they can saw through virtually any single layer of fabric (and some dual layers) If you're wearing anything thick enough to prevent it, you'd likely dehydrate from the heat and pass out anyway. No thanks.
Once thought about riding into the Everglades but was worried about mosquitoes & thought the terrain might be a bit boring so I rode up the A1A along the Atlantic coast instead. Good to hear I made the right choice, heh. BTW I saw this guy on TV who had like 30 ball-bearing things pierced on his ear, I swear it looked like he was being bitten by a bunch of shiny little bugs.
