In this week’s episode Erik and Sheela discuss some bits of news from South Berkshire county and whether or not it makes sense to let ticks and bears keep you out of the woods.

(Spoiler alert: it does not.)

Resources:

Tick Encounter at University of Rhode Island has lots of information.

Permethrin Spray - This one from Sawyer Products seems to be the best-reviewed.

Bears:
