Oof, how do you even prevent ticks? I like to go hiking but I hate dealing with ticks.
You can't really, right? Long sleeves? This is what they recommend in the article:
In order to prevent from getting bitten by a tick, it is recommended you use bug spray to repel the critters, and to cover up as much skin as possible when outdoors walking through the woods or long grass.
Stupid parasites.. Last time I had to remove a tick from my SO, it wasn't having any of it. Never had to use so much force to get it out. I guess the economy is bad for the ticks too! .
You can suffocate them with nail polish like chiggers
This made me imagine people hiking around in short shorts with stiff and shiny legs.
