New Affliction??

[Semple Fi]

Anyone up for a new affliction?

 

 Specifically, Poison Ivy (treated with a Fir salve or Antiseptic/HydroPeroxide) Or Ticks (Lyme Risk treated with antibiotics).

Wouldn’t poison ivy be dead in winter?

Ticks seem reasonable, maybe they form swarms during the auroras .

The more wolf struggles you have the more risk of getting ticks from them?🙂

That’s a good point

I only thought of it because I’m dealing with it in my yard right now 🤣😢

 but there are plenty of deer

 and thereby deer ticks…. Perhaps the more time you spend harvesting meat from deer or moose, the greater the risk?

 That’d be a kick in the pants for what was a “safe” food source lol

I've gotten poison ivy in the dead of winter more than once. Yes, it dies in winter, but the oils can remain on whatever it may have been touching, and that lingers.

 

Every time I got poison ivy in the winter, it was on my hands/forearms, after gathering firewood in the forest here.

Making this idea sound even more legit
