I'm going to Maryland, what do I do?

Wow. Being from a small island in the middle of nowhere I often have difficulty with scale. Thanks for the heads up!


Umm...is there some sort of full body armor I can purchase? Are the snakes venomous? (Just say no. Please.) And I'm really afraid to ask, but what is a chigger?? Give me two inch cockroaches and centipedes any day!

Spray your shoes and pant legs with Deep Woods Off, but not the dry variety. That should keep the bugs off you. Check yourself for ticks at night. A tick has to be attached to you for over 24 hours in order to transmit a disease, so if you find it and remove it at night you'll be okay. The snakes are just as afraid of you as you are of them, so they won't bother you unless you step on them. Just watch where you put your foot as you're walking in tall grass.
