DRIVERS, WHEN YOU SIGN UP,
PLEASE ANSWER THE CARPOOL QUESTION
REGARDING THE
AMOUNT OF
PASSENGERS YOU CAN TAKE IN YOUR CAR!!!
For those of you choosing to
meet at the
event
location, instead of the carpool,
please ensure
that
you come on time
I’ve set the maximum event count
at 1 as I
don’t want to add anyone to the event
until I have
enough carpool drivers to accommodate
passengers.
I
will try accommodate up to 15
people.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST TICKS
Wear long pants.
Tuck your shirt into your
pants, and pull your socks over your pant legs.
Wear light coloured clothing to spot ticks more
easily. Use bug spray containing DEET or
Icaridin on your skin and clothing. Avoid tall
grass.
Check yourself for ticks immediately after the
event, you can ask me for help for removal.
When you get home, shower and do a full body
check, if you find a tick, remove it with
tweezers. If a tick is attached to your skin
for less than 24 hours, your chance of getting
Lyme disease is negligible.
For more information, see Ticks
