Posted by 4Valhal Being 100% honest with you - You are thinking about this way too much. Put some gloves on and get out there and you'll quickly realize that it's not near as bad as you are making it out to be in your head.

I know I'm overthinking it, but that's the nature of this shitbox phobia.
I agree though, I'm sure it's not as bad as I'm thinking it would be in my head once I actually get out there. Or worse, over react because I'm on edge and put myself into an actual dangerous situation. Mental preparation and all.
Posted by Pear I have had problems with ticks before. Ticks are nothing to mess with, either is Lyme disease.

I know that's nothing to mess with but even the people around here I know who actually go camping and such never seem to have problems with them. I'll definitely keep my eyes open though and do thorough checks after every outing.
Posted by bandoboy463 They do make repellents that you can buy and spray yourself with before going and I've heard good things from people who use them. |
I will definitely invest/look into that.
Posted by blackhawk The small ones are hard to spot, many times you feel them before you see them. |
That sent a shiver up my spine.
