I tried to help several lard buckets lose weight in the past, when I didn’t know any better. They quickly showed to be the laziest, unmotivated, whining arseholes I ever met.  Fortunately this is not my story. I learned my lesson waaay before encountering this hellhole.   What do you use to prevent ticks when you’re on your hikes?!  Cover your legs (long pants, you can tuck the ends in your socks), you’d wear permethrin/deltamethrin treated socks, spray your legs with anti-tick spray, and check every nook and cranny for ticks afterwards.
