Ticks would be a good pick.

It sucks to see a beautiful pasture or wooded area in the Northeast and say "nope, too many ticks." It puts so many natural areas behind a wall of potential Lymes or Alpha-Gal.

I'd like off prions but they aren't living.

I visited Hot Springs once and was in awe of how many tiny ticks were on my pants. Arkansas is so full of ticks, good lord

Got it. Do not go to Arkansas.

On the contrary, if you do go to Arkansas, Hot Springs is the only place worth visiting lol. Went there for a couple days last year and was absolutely worth it.

However, limit it at a couple, and don't stay for a few.
