How Can You Avoid Getting Bit?

In order to avoid tick bites, wear long clothing, stuff your pant legs into your socks and consider treating your clothes with permethrin insecticide to avoid unwanted passengers. Environmental Protection Agency–registered tick repellents, especially those containing DEET, are also effective at keeping the parasites and other bugs away. Avoid obvious tick habitats such as shady brush, even if it’s in your own yard. When you return home, throw your clothes in the dryer and do a thorough check for ticks on your body. Ticks love nooks and crannies, so pay extra attention to damp spots such as your armpits or the backs of your knees. Also check your dogs because dog ticks can carry Rocky Mountain spotted fever, which can also infect humans.

Even with these preventive measures, if you see a tick lodged on you, skip the matches or nail polish and resist the urge to pick it off with your fingers—you’ll only leave the tick’s mouth lodged into the skin. Instead use tweezers and pluck at the site of the bite as close to the skin as possible. If you’re planning to go camping in areas with known high tick counts, carry fine-tip tweezers—they could save your life. The CDC advises to consult your health care provider after noticing a tick bite if you start to experience flulike symptoms such as headache, chills or fever. It’s always best to catch tick-borne illnesses early.

If you're not in the Americas, the Rocky Mointain Fever won't be relevant. But for example, in Europe, Tick Borne Encefalitis (TBE) is a big problem. Information on this and even other countries:

I am playing it right now! It was at 20% sale a few days ago. Don't know if it'll get even more discounted later.

It is nearly perfect for the deck. I only have a small grievance with moving things in the inventory. It takes a long while to step through the slots. But maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Tunic is also on my wishlist. Crossing fingers!

Is this a reference to something?

I enjoy writing by hand, but I do look forward to a good e-ink device (Products like the remarkable have a subscription model and it's closed hardware and software, which is a big negative to me). Waiting to see how projects like PineNote evolve.

For now I just write on which ever notebook is closest to me. The act of writing is more important than actually storing information somewhere outside of my head.

A roundabout in my home city was turned into an elevated 4-way intersection. It wasn't an improvement. When I visualize the city I always see the roundabout. It was there all my life.

As soon as I read this, the song started playing automatically in my head. Along with most of the visual sequences, and Richard Dean Anderson's smile.

Ohh such a nice stand and such growth!

Thank you!

Exactly! What if I'm removing the ones that would otherwise have the best chances‽

I deleted my posts but not my account so that I can keep deleting them.
