I know friends who are planning their annual hiking/camping trip. Nothing can be as invigorating and peaceful (at the same time) as such a trip.
However, one of the downsides that can undermine the trip is the prevalence of ticks, or most disconcerting, deer ticks. These are the little guys that carry a particular bacteria known to cause Lyme disease, an inflammatory disease caused by the tick bite.
In addition, here is a video of a blood disease I don't recall hearing or reading about lately. Since I hate ticks, I'm surprised I haven't heard of this sooner. It's called Babesiosis.
