Lyme Disease, is s serious concern for anybody working walking in a wooded area or any tower located in a grounf brush area.An ounce of protection is worth a pound cure. But as warmer weather is apron us, My major concern is from the Stinging flying critters. not fun as you are climbing over a tic ring or around a swing gate .MY worse experience was from a sema box used as a Prop-Pitch Selsyin wire junction tie box. and just above the rung I was stand on.Well thank GOD it was a Bee nest - as the ones that were up my Jeans could only Sting me Once as I crushed them between the material and my calf ankle area.This was on a old Air Motor free standing tower, Lesson learned. always examine any area for Bee/Wasp nesting area and carry a can of bug kill as you go aloft. Be Safe. Wayne W3EA > From: ai.egrps at gmail.com
