I live in an area infested with ticks. Going out with into fields/woods with no protection means pulling dozens at a minimum, though my neighbor pulled over 100 off a couple weeks ago.

My solution is elastic gaiters and using permetharin as bug spray. I don't get ticks anymore.

I'm also kind of allergic to ticks, and if I get bit, it itches so bad for about two weeks that topical lidocaine is the only way I've found to get some relief.

I will say, I work ambulance for a very right wing rural community. I have done this for a number of years now.

While I do have issues at times with our local LEO, they do a good job with not shooting my patients, or their dogs.

They have done a good job in my community with securing the scene without escalating and then standing back and let us deal with medical/mental health crisis.

These stories do happen to often, and there are policy changes that need to happen, but there are a significant number of communities that have law enforcement who are acting appropriately and therefore get no news coverage.

Yeah, being a first responder really changed my perspective on a lot of "safe" areas" and how far help is.

When you have one lone deputy in your entire county for a good portion of the night (and frequently only 2-3 cars during the day), and state is just on call, not patrolling... you can easily be 45 minutes out from LEO, that's been a very long wait before...
