Getting into the gathering without getting a mandatory court appearance ticket
Every year the United States Forest Service Law Enforcement (USFS) Incident Management Team (the cops) attempts to write as many tickets to family coming home as they possibly can to justify their presence. They give out tickets for broken tail lights, failure to use a turn signal in a deserted parking lot at 2 AM, lack of seat belts, controlled substances (even just a trace amount), beads hanging from your rear view mirrors, prescription medications if the label doesn't clearly have your name on it and you can't prove who you are, dogs off leash, a vehicle missing a front license plate even if you live in a state that does not issue a front license plate and a lot more violations of the letter of the law. You do not want to go to Kangaroo Court However, these tickets are not the type of citation you would probably receive for any of these issues in your hometown. These are Federal mandatory court appearance tickets. There will be special cour
And I was in the woods in May and helped with scouting. LOTS of ticks throughout the experience, but especially early on. No symptoms and I used homeopathic Ledum 200 C - daily. A few pellets in my drinking water every day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Karin.
ReplyDeleteAn additional question may be - how long one was at the gathering, and when did they arrive --
And, maybe a question on where food was obtained
DeleteYeah that would be good but I only got 6 questions for free.
ReplyDeleteWe have had stomach upset, fever, diarrhea, body aches, sleepiness. Stayed in kid village and drank the filtered water only. We also only ate at kid village and then main circle 2x. Things are ruled out for us as far as tick, and stomach bugs. I seen zero ticks on myself and 2 yr old. We are local from Duluth, MN. I did use bug spray with deet however (yes I know its bad, but it works for ticks well) Advice.... if you had a small deer tick (size of sesame seed or so) and have symptoms, sdtart Doxy antibiotics... sometimes there are no signs and labs come back fine... it can take time to show up. Stop it early and its much better. Make sure to care for your gut with good pre and probiotics during antibiotic meds XoXo Lovin you!
ReplyDeleteBoth me and partner got sick. I had the runs for 2 days after we left amd my partner had vomiting and the runs. We camped at turtle soup amd eat at dinner circle every night. We also hiked our own water in. I have my food service manager certificated and would like to run a food safety workshop at the next gathering.
