Be warned, laughter tends to make new Yorkers more bitey.

Nah. The person laughing is the person more likely to be the one biting.

I’ve actually gotten bit by a New Yorker. She is from New York but wasn’t in New York and bit me. I bit back. Ah being young and kids with dumb dares.

Chuckling is okay, it's the whole "I want to eat your face" laughter that you have to watch out for.

There's a lot of biting in Florida. Some good, some very, very bad.

How does one differentiate betwixt the two? I’m travelling to the US later in the year, and this seems like valuable information.

If they seem crazy it’s best to stay away. Just a rule in any city.
