Yeah, before refrigeration become widely available, people used to get sick and even die from something called "summer complaint.." I believe today we call it food poisoning.

We know that the biblical disease Wormwood is on her shelf from Cold Days. The Mothers represent Nature which is beautiful and bountiful but also viscous and cruel.

Yes, there are beautiful spring days and autumn days, then there are blizzards, artic freezes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, blistering heat..

Isn't there a WOJ out there or something in one of the books that Summer and Winter flip roles as far as guarding the Gates are concerned every millennia or so? Both are forces of nature, and Summer can be every bit as cruel and indeed more violent than Winter. While Mab is cold and calculating, Titania is emotional and volatile, not good to cross either one of them..

Of course she is. But the question is about what she spends her time doing - and the answer is countering Winter's aggressions to the mortals. She doesn't have to counter everything Winter does, as Griffyn says. Summer only has to counter the stuff that threatens mortals. That being said, I believe it was Fix who pointed out that if Harry was doing Mab's work it was his job to counter it (particularly because it might be a bad thing for humanity - even though he didn't actually know that).
I am not so sure about the WOJ...but I would be surprised if it were true. It makes sense for Winter to be the guards. They're literally bred for the purpose. Mother Winter describes herself as the unmaker, the destroyer. Logically it follows then that Mother Summer is the maker, the creator. Doesn't mean she can't kill but that isn't her role. Summer isn't more violent than Winter though. Summer can be as violent but it doesn't spend it's time trying to murder everything, including humans. Which is basically what Winter does.
Do you remember where you heard the WOJ?
