Danger In The Grass: How To Survive Tick Season
Now that the weather is warmer and sunnier, the grass is green again and the flowers are in full bloom, it’s a great time to go hiking and camping again. It’s also the perfect time for different types of bugs to stretch their legs and wings and start looking for prey.
That’s why today we’re going to talk about ticks since they are especially active from April through September and one of their prey is…well, us! It’s not necessary for a tick bite to become an emergency, but many of them carry a lot of diseases from tick-borne meningoencephalitis to Lyme disease, a disease that it’s not only crippling but really hard to detect due to its confusing symptoms. That’s why ticks deserve a lot of attention, and that’s exactly what we’re gonna give them today.
We’ll discuss everything you need to know about how to avoid ticks while being outdoorsy this spring and summer, what to do in case one gets on you and how to deal with its bite in both a normal situation and in a post-SHTF scenario.
