I lived in Yellowknife/Fort Smith area for about 15 years. The bugs can be pretty bad but if you were to use bug spray or a head net you would be fine. I'm off to visit my mom in Yellowknife in July. As it was such a cold spring she thinks that the bugs won't be bad this year. And as for disease/infection, I've never heard of anyone catching anything and having worked in the bush for months at a time you'd figure if there was something I would have caught it. Yellowknife is a very unique city, don't let a few bugs deter you from what will be a very memorable trip.
