Episode 94: Ticks!!!

In Episode 94, Brian Anderson (aka "The Tick Terminator") joins the show to educate us on your biggest danger in the backcountry - TICKS!!! In the podcast, we discuss the tick lifecycle, when and where they are most likely to find you, how to prevent ticks, and what to do if one embeds in your skin.

This discussion hit home for me personally since I was infected by and recovered from Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. After two days in the hospital, a home healthcare nurse came to my house for a week to administer steroids via IV. After 3 months, I fully recovered - and was actually lucky to have Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and not Lyme disease! Tune in to find out why. And if you live East of the Mississippi and hike frequently - you can't afford to miss this show...
