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?

Thank you!

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

It’s always jarring when people expect something like reddit and find something else that looks almost like it, but it’s actually different. It helps to get reminders that it’s not reddit and it doesn’t have to be. And that this is actually a good thing.

For me, it helps that I’m old and used to spend time in forums with small communities, but for younger people this may never have been a thing. It’s a little exciting to think about someone being exposed to it for the first time, if they stay long enough to see the benefits.

I like the part about how this is not meant to be a resilient information exchange. protocol. I also do see the ability to defederate as a very useful tool rather than an jnstrument of censorship.

The source showed the tweet as an image, so I went into the sewer waters from Fritter. And, yep, it’s genuinely there.

It’s not even that I believe him unable to have such bad takes: it’s not the first time. I have just seen a few fake ones. But the fake ones aren’t even needed!

Interesting. I wish they sold this in Sweden. Best I can get is a product containing sulphur, but it’s not very cheap.
