Shop my all-natural skincare products at Arvoti.com.Why has the tick population increased so much lately? And what does it have to do with diseases like Alpha-gal syndrome?I keep getting messages asking what I do about ticks on my homestead, and the more I look into this topic, the stranger it gets. Farmers say tick pressure is worse than they've ever seen. Hunters are pulling shocking numbers off of deer. Families find them on their kids after a few minutes outside.Let's dive into why this feels different now, and why I don't think we're getting the full story.In this episode, I cover the Cold War-era research on ticks and other insects as vectors, the Plum Island Animal Disease Center, the 2019 Congressional amendment asking the Pentagon to investigate biological weapons used between 1950 and 1975, and the Gates Foundation funding cattle tick research.Then I share the practical side. Chickens, guinea fowl, land management, a simple essential oil deterrent spray recipe, and the daily habits that keep my homestead in balance without DEET.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[3:27] Why farmers, hunters, and families are all saying this tick year feels different[4:58] What Alpha-gal syndrome actually does to the body after a single tick bite[7:03] Cold War insect research and why the government studied ticks as vectors[9:19] The Plum Island connection and the 2019 Pentagon bioweapons amendment[12:12] Why Bill Gates funding cattle tick research while pushing fake meat doesn't add up[13:48] How disturbed ecosystems and modern toxic load created the perfect tick storm[18:31] Why chickens, guinea fowl, and land management beat any store-bought solution[20:50] The homemade essential oil spray that replaces toxic DEET repellents[27:18] Why two people bitten by the same tick can have completely different outcomesRelated Gubba Homestead Episodes:Natural Flea and Tick Prevention for Dogs: The Terrain Approach Without Toxic PesticidesResources Mentioned:Plum Island Animal Disease Center | WikipediaCattle tick vaccine researchers join forces in CATVAC by Schetters, Theo et al. | ArticleThe Light Bulb Lie: Why They Banned Incandescent Bulbs (And What They Replaced Them With) by Gubba | ArticleFind more from Gubba:Gubba Homestead | X | Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest | WebsiteGubba Homestead Products | Shop

What doesn't kill mosquitoes... might very well be making them stronger. That means you might have to resort to slapping yourself after all. A new study claims that mosquitoes can learn to like DEET, a common ingredient in bug repellent. The reason? We're not using it enough, and we're not using enough of it. Inside Sources hears from listeners about the ways they keep mosquitoes at bay.

Hello, Friday! Warm weather, plenty of sun, and nothing to do this afternoon! Hope you have a great weekend as we get ready to turn the page in the calendar to JUNE on Monday. In the news this morning, an updated on the Lynette Hooker disappearance in the Bahamas, a slew of artists are already backing out of the Freedom 250 concert in Washington DC, another billionaire's rocket explodes on the launchpad, and we might be getting $250 bills with Trump's face on them. In sports, the Brewers were off last night…but start a three-game series against the Astros in Houston tonight, the Spurs beat the Thunder last night to force a decisive Game Seven tomorrow night in OKC, the latest on the tragic death of hockey legend Claude Lemieux, and Jaxson Dart has some 'splaining to do with his Giants teammates after introducing President Donald Trump last week at an event. We let you know what's on TV this weekend and what's new in theaters. Plus, some new music releases to check out, and we also discussed whether or not "Disclosure Day" is propaganda to get the human race ready for an actual confirmation of alien life on Earth. Elsewhere in sports, the Enhanced Games are upping the prize for someone to break Usain Bolt's record, a NASCAR employee is suspended indefinitely for running someone over with a golf card, and a youth baseball coach is banned for LIFE! A new poll asked people to list some signs that someone has "made it"…and apparently a walk-in closet is in the top 10. Also, with Summer right around the corner, you might want to ease up on the DEET when you're chilling in the backyard. Allegedly, mosquitos can get used to it if you over-spray the stuff. Check out this barber in Iowa who is turning a negative into a positive after suffering a stroke while on the job, and a new program in the Netherlands is turning discarded cigarette butts into free food for people who collect them. Doc joined us just after 8am to talk racing thanks to County Materials in Holmen & Eau Claire. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy from Illinois who got drunk & stole a cop car while visiting #Florida, a man in Pennsylvania who came home drunk…argued with his wife…and then tried to tear down his own home with an excavator with his wife & kids still inside, a woman who got absolutely throttled by a horse that kicked her, a dude who claims that some hot coffee burned his dick really bad on a flight, a #FloridaWoman who got arrested after her tampon(aka, a bag of cocaine) fell on the floor of her car during a traffic stop, and a teacher who was dosing her kids with melatonin to get them to sleep during class.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Patrick talks about why you may be getting eaten alive by skeeters

As the Gelflings and Skeksis prepare to meet in battle to decide the ultimate fate of Thra, we dreamfast with Blythe and Lauren, to discuss the Olympics, sexy Skeksis, and porn, and also to debate whether the the first and only season of The Age of Resistance is a cool and good story, or whether the lack of resolution for Deet means that it is not awesome.

Send us Fan MailOntario camping can be magical right up until the black flies find you. We get honest about what really happens from May to mid-July and beyond, then lay out a simple, workable bug plan you can actually use on your next canoe trip, backcountry route, or family car-camping weekend.We start with a few shout outs from the broader camping community, including a lightweight carbon fibre paddle we're excited to test on an upcoming Spanish River trip, and an epic Canada By Canoe challenge aiming to break the world record for the longest single-season canoe trip while raising money for True North Aid. We also recap a presentation-heavy backcountry canoe symposium at the Canadian Canoe Museum and a Camp Kitchen gathering where food, gear, and good people all collide in the best way.Then we dig into Ontario bug season survival: when black flies, mosquitoes, deer flies, horseflies, ticks, and midges tend to peak, what attracts them, and what helps most. We talk DEET vs icaridin (picaridin), why physical barriers like bug shirts, head nets, and screened shelters often beat gimmicks, and why dense fabric, tight cuffs, and even pants tucked into socks can save your sanity. We also share campsite selection lessons, from avoiding calm water and deep shade to understanding why that “perfect” empty site might be empty for a reason. We even explore a curious idea about why some people seem to attract more bites than others.If you've ever planned a trip around bugs or had them wreck a campsite, you'll feel seen and you'll leave with a clearer strategy.

Une équipe de chercheurs américains, dirigée notamment par l'océanographe Lihini Aluwihare, vient de publier l'une des analyses chimiques les plus vastes jamais menées sur les océans. Plus de 2 300 échantillons d'eau de mer, prélevés entre 2017 et 2022 aux quatre coins du globe, ont été passés au crible. Et le constat est sans appel : l'empreinte chimique humaine est désormais omniprésente dans les mers.Pour parvenir à ce résultat, les scientifiques ont utilisé une méthode dite « non ciblée ». Contrairement aux analyses classiques, qui recherchent des substances précises, cette approche permet de détecter simultanément des milliers de composés, même inconnus au départ. Grâce à une technique appelée spectrométrie de masse, qui identifie les molécules en fonction de leur masse, les chercheurs ont mis en évidence 248 substances d'origine humaine. Parmi elles, des additifs plastiques, des lubrifiants industriels, des résidus de médicaments ou encore des pesticides. Autant de composés qui, pour beaucoup, étaient jusqu'ici peu surveillés. Le plus frappant, c'est leur diffusion. Les cinq substances les plus fréquentes ont été retrouvées dans plus de 30 % des échantillons, y compris en pleine haute mer. Près des côtes, les analyses révèlent davantage de traces de médicaments, comme des anxiolytiques, ou de répulsifs anti-insectes comme le DEET. Dans les estuaires, zones de transition entre fleuves et océans, les composés de synthèse peuvent représenter jusqu'à 76 % des substances détectées. Même les régions les plus isolées, comme certains récifs coralliens éloignés, ne sont pas épargnées.Pour les chercheurs, le plus préoccupant n'est pas seulement la quantité, mais l'ampleur de la dispersion. En haute mer, ces substances ne représentent parfois que 0,5 à 4 % des composés présents. Des chiffres faibles en apparence, mais qui témoignent d'une contamination globale. Et il reste des angles morts. Certaines molécules, comme les PFAS, ces « polluants éternels » très persistants, échappent encore aux méthodes actuelles. D'autres ne figurent pas dans les bases de données utilisées pour les identifier.Reste une question essentielle : quel impact sur les écosystèmes ? Les scientifiques reconnaissent qu'ils ne disposent pas encore de toutes les réponses. Mais une chose est sûre : ces composés, appelés xénobiotiques, s'accumulent et pourraient influencer le fonctionnement des océans, notamment le cycle du carbone. Hébergé par Acast.

As our Gelfing heroes unite in the Dreamscape, Lauren reunites with us in the Pod(ling)scape, to get real with us about Deet, the realest of real ones, to further examine the strange role of Podlings in Thra, and to chat with us about all of our first concerts that we attended.

As three different Gelflings from disparate parts of Thra find themselves drawn to the path of resistance against the cruelty of the Skeksis, Blythe Rudloff finds herself drawn to the podcast by the siren song of Dark Crystal! We're covering the first part of the Age of Resistance tie-in comic, as well as the first three episodes of the TV show, which means we'll be analyzing how well this world translates to the page, pondering the confusing nature of the Podlings, and worshipping at the altar of precious and pure Deet. Also, squirrels!

What are the pros and cons of DEET mosquito repellent? Also, picaridin, citronella, and lemon eucalyptus are put to the test.

Paul says in the last days people are going to be so evil and not care. It seems as if he is describing the world in 2025! He gives a long description of people and how empty their hearts are. Paul calls out deceitful men who prey on vulnerable women, gaining their confidence, only to take advantage of them in the end. He mentions two men by name that aren't found in scripture, Jannes and Jambres. These two men, according to the Talmud and tradition, are the two magicians that stood against Moses before pharaoh. They were able to recreate some of the plagues but not all of them and their sins were exposed in the end. You can pretend to play church and deceive many people, but your sin will find you out! And you aren't fooling God...He knows everything about you, including what is in your heart!

  Where in the world am I? In San Diego, talking about Machu Picchu Are there any tips to help me avoid being cheated or robbed while traveling? Yes, you can take precautions like removing your expensive jewelry before traveling and not carrying expensive purses or shoes. Don't look like a target. Look like you belong, and try not to stand out from the usual crowd. Check reviews of any Airbnb or turo car rentals you book. Be careful not to walk alone in the dark at night, as much as possible. Think of the odds whenever you go out. Please put them in your favor, not a criminal. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series dives deeper into safety and security while traveling solo—link in description""  See Book A for addressing this challenge. You can find it on our website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon; it's a several-part series. Today's special destination is: Machu Picchu, Peru. I finally got there, after so many years of wanting to visit. And I had a great time. I hope the same goes for you. Peru is a wonderful place, but you do need to be prepared, and I was. I t'ss almost always a good time to book your ticket to Machu Picchu. So book it now if you are planning it. There is a daily cap of 5600 people. Once you get there, it will be too late to reserve a ticket. You could get lucky, so if you're in an emergency, you may be able to obtain one from a broker, but that will incur an additional cost. I was delaying the purchase for a few weeks, and I'm glad I booked my tour three months in advance. The tickets are not expensive, but it may be a challenge to afford them. I found a travel agency, but they wouldn't accept my credit card over the phone, and when I tried to set up a Western Union money transfer, it was a terrible experience. I'll share that in my mistakes later on. https://www.ticketmachupicchu.com/ticket-machu-picchu-2019/ Machu Picchu tips and insights on the travel for you. Step What to do Tips & costs 1. Tickets (book now!) Buy on Tuboleto.c ultura .pe – choose Circuit 2B (Classic Lower Terrace) for the iconic postcard view with moderate stairs. Cost 172 PEN ≈ US $45. Sales for 2025 opened on 19 Dec 2024; the daily cap is 5,600, so June slots sell out early. Peru RailEl País 2. Train 06:10 Inca Rail or 07:45 PeruRail Expedition from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes; arrive 08:30‑09:30. Sit on the left‑hand side for Urubamba River views. Peru Rail 3. Bus up Buy a Consettur round-trip ticket (US$24) at the kiosk the night before; the first buses roll at 05:30, with a 25-minute ride. Ticket to Machu Picchu   4. Entry window Aim for the 09:00–10:00 slot (good light, less 6 am crowd, still before midday haze). Passport, ticket & small day pack only. My ticket was in the afternoon, and for that it was great. It was hazy that morning, I was told.         6. Optional short hike Huchuy Picchu add‑on (easy 1 km, 30‑40 min, extra 48 PEN) – great summit photo without the steep drop of Huayna Picchu. Ticket to Machu Picchu   7. Lunch & return Picnic outside the gate (no food inside), stamp passport, bus down, 16:20 train back to Cusco (arr. 20:30), or stay one more night at Aguas Calientes if you prefer a slower pace.   Packing checklist: passport, printed tickets, layers (for cool mornings/hot sun), rain shell, 1 L refillable bottle (no disposables), DEET, sunblock, walking poles with rubber tips, cash for snacks & toilets (2 soles). Quick Tips for a Smooth Trip Book everything online in advance, including flights, trains, Machu Picchu tickets, and buses, to avoid lines and secure cheaper fares. Cash is still king in small villages—carry small bills; ATMs are plentiful in Cusco. Solo safety basics: use registered taxis (Taxi Beat or Cabify apps), avoid isolated beach areas at night, and keep photocopies of your passport in separate bags. Enjoy Peru's vibrant coast, Andean culture, and the wonder of Machu Picchu—then you'll be perfectly primed for Brazil's beaches a few days later. ¡Buen viaje! Hard to use Western Union for a payment to my travel expert. Very challenging. It didn't happen; I brought it in person to Cusco. Paid by CC in person, but not to the travel agent. She had to find someone willing to accept the credit card payment in another shop. It was both a great deal and a great pain. The total cost was only $275.Here's a breakdown of my trip to Machu Picchu Machu Picchu: My One-Day Experience (start/finish in Cusco) Timeline & logistics 03:00 woke up; 03:30 ready; 04:00 pickup. Bus from Cusco → Ollantaytambo, then train to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo)—you even shared the carriage with a few actors. Reached town around 08:30 in the rain; explored, then rented a bathing suit and towel and relaxed at the hot springs (20 soles entry; 5 soles suit; 5 soles towel). Met Eduardo, my English-speaking guide from Cusco (now living locally). I treated him to tea before we got started. Noon: lined up for Machu Picchu entry; private tour from ~12:00–16:30. You tipped 50 soles—he was excellent. The weather shifted from rain to cloudy to sunny, perfect for walking among the ruins. Stats: ~48 flights of stairs and 6.4 miles walked; lots of steps. Afterward, enjoy a massage (~$20), a chocolate bar, and plenty of water before heading back to Cusco at around 11 pm. It was a long, but so valued day. What I saw & felt The town is small: church (Virgen del Carmen, where I said prayers), district offices, train stations, and police clustered together. Wildlife moments: five llamas, including a 3-day-old nursing and another 3-month-old—adorable. The scenery felt grand and expansive—it reminded you of Yosemite for its scale, but with open, terraced mountains rather than dense trees. Photos turned out great. You loved the entire experience and happily checked off another of the Seven Wonders of the World. Language tidbit from your guide:"'ach'= old, 'icch'= mountain. You noticed so many other peaks around the citadel. What I learned….. The tour weaved together the Incas' worship, daily life, food, farming practices (especially corn/maize), and burial customs—you noted that mostly women's skeletons were found in the areas you discussed with your guide. Inca history (brief context): The Inca civilization flourished in the 15th–early 16th centuries across the Andes, constructing extraordinary stone architecture and terraced agriculture without the use of iron or the wheel. Machu Picchu itself sat hidden in the mountains for centuries, its location contributing to its preservation until its 20th-century reintroduction to global attention. The expansive mountain range around the site made it feel concealed and sacred, "hidden for centuries," much like the aura people describe with Angkor Wat (your comparison). Small moments that mattered Tea with Eduardo (my treat) set a relaxed rhythm for the afternoon, and since it was raining, it gave me a chance to dry out. Hot springs soak before the ruins helped counter the early start and altitude. I loved that I could rent a bathing suit for the morning. That was a first. The hot springs were soothing and an unexpected pleasure. Bring your suit if you remember. Private guiding made the history feel personal and clear. I thought I would be in a group, but this was a private tour. One-line takeaway A long, early start bloomed into a perfectly paced day—rain to sun, hot springs to high terraces—guided insight, baby llamas, countless stairs, and a deep, peaceful sense of awe among the Incas'""old mountain" Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest on YouTube In the news  

It was such a rookie mistake. I was tramping in the Kahurangi, last summer. The Douglas Range, 1000m above sea level. And after we'd pitched a tent, as the sun got heavy and the surrounding hills cast their shadows long and deep, I realised I'd screwed up, big time. Zzzzzz. Zzzzzz. Zzzzzz. What made the error so much worse was that it wasn't a bit of absent-minded forgetfulness. I'd carefully considered my options before loading my pack. It wasn't that I'd forgotten to bring long johns or pants. It's that I'd *chosen* not to pack them. Up top I had a poly-prop, jumper and jacket. But down bottom I had shorts… and that was it. Zzzzz. Zzzzzzzz. The only way to keep sandflies from biting is to keep moving. And the last thing you feel like doing after 8 or 10 hours of steady climbing… is keep moving. As if to wallow in my own stupidity, I ended up treading a middle ground. Moving just enough so as not to rest, but not enough to stop the sandflies from completely devouring me. Still, I've had worse experiences with them. I'll not forget my night at the mouth of the Heaphy River, where the swarms were so thick they hung in the skies like pockets of buzzing black smoke. Walking by, you had to make sure to close your mouth so as not to catch a bit of extra protein. And you know what? I'd still take a sandfly over a biting gnat. I once chose to visit one of Utah's national parks on a Sunday in the middle of biting gnat season. The locals call them ‘moose flies' which I suppose could be cos' they hang around moose, or just as feasibly in my experience because the gnats are a comparable size. It wasn't just the itching that killed me, though. My bare legs were soon covered in blood. I returned to Salt Lake City to discover every pharmacy closed for the rest of the weekend and spent the night lying in a tepid bath, trying to stave off shock. Often it's the obvious downside to natural beauty. If it's a beautiful natural landscape… there will be something that'll give you an itchy bite. At least there's one place on Earth you could still safely wear shorts. Sure, you might be a bit nippy striding down the streets of Reykjavik in your stubbies, but at the very least you could be sure there were no sandflies. There were no biting gnats. No midges. No moose flies. No mozzies. That was at least, until this week. Scientists have confirmed that for the first time, the World's deadliest creature has reached the last country on Earth. Iceland officially has mosquitoes. And while sure, Iceland is not the Amazon. They're not at risk of a Dengue Fever outbreak, You can still safely leave the Deet at home. The truth is that the discover probably represents more than just an ecological quirk. At an individual level, sure, it's a potential nuisance. But what confirming mosquitoes in Iceland says about the state of the planet is probably far more serious. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  Hi there. I'm Dr. Mary Travelbest, coming to you from a recent trip, on a 90-day solo journey around the world.   Listener Story Spotlight   Alina, whom I met in Toronto and who hosted me for my final four nights, is trying to travel to Seattle this week, but she's been affected by the Air Canada airline strike. She's a great traveler who has visited Japan, Spain, and many European countries. She was an excellent Servas host. Look up Servas if you want to encourage world peace with cultural exchange.   Quick-fire FAQ:   The FAQ for today is: What was my favorite place during my 90-day journey? It's what I get asked nearly every day. I don't want to leave anyone out, so I usually say, 'Right here is my favorite place.' Right now, I'm home, so that's my favorite place. It's usually the NEXT trip that I'll be taking. My next trip is for work, to Las Vegas, so that's not a favorite. I can stay here for up to two nights, and then I need to get out. However, after that, it's off to Chicago soon. That will be a favorite this fall.   60-second Travelbest confidence challenge   Walk outside. Close your eyes and stop where you are. Listen to the sounds you hear. Did you catch every sound? Make a list in your mind. Continue walking and focus on what you hear. The sounds of nature or the city are there, but maybe you haven't been listening. Go ahead and do this once a week. That's your challenge. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, Chapter 1 of my 5 Steps series book A dives deeper—link in description.”   See Book A for addressing all of these items. https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/   Destination Deep‑Dive Today's special destination is:  A summary of my 90-day trip. Part One  I began my trip in South America on May 13, 2025. I charted a course to go around the world from north to south. I flew to Chicago to begin my trip and then went to Bogota, Colombia, Cartagena, and finally Medellin. I spent a total of four weeks in South America, traveling through four countries, each for one week. Some of the highlights of South America would include fantastic artwork in downtown Medellin and riding on their very sophisticated tram system. In Cartagena, I had the opportunity to explore the old town and the city walls, as well as spend a day at Isla Blanca, a resort. My second week was spent in Ecuador, where I spent several days on the island of Isabela in the Galapagos. I saw many natural wonders here on this small island. I explored the tunnels and had the opportunity to swim with sea turtles during this trip. I also saw many lizards and other unusual creatures. After arriving in Peru, I landed in Lima and then traveled to Cusco by plane, where I spent a few days acclimating to the high altitude. I spent one 19-hour day in Machu Picchu, leaving at 3 AM and arriving at about 11 PM. That was quite an adventure, and it was a beautiful day at that. I felt that I got to know the city of Lima after visiting it for the second time at the end of May, when I spent a week in Brazil. I first arrived in Rio de Janeiro and visited the Christ the Redeemer statue.   I then spent several days exploring the city before heading to the sister city across the bay in Nero, where I enjoyed the locals and the beaches. I then flew to São Paulo. I explored this vast metropolis, one of the largest cities I've ever seen. From there I flew to South Africa via Angola, and when I arrived in Cape Town, I rented a car and drove on the left side of the road for the first time. I explored the Garden Route for several days before returning to Cape Town, situated at the southernmost tip of Africa. After Cape Town, I flew to Johannesburg on another airline. I was fortunate to visit the Apartheid Museum and the homes of two Nobel Peace Prize winners, all in the same neighborhood. This is my second trip to Africa, so I was glad to see a different part of it this time. I'll finish up my summary in the next episode, so stay tuned.  Smart Move and Slip-up pairings  One of my slip-ups on this trip was losing my phone. I lost it while I was entering the CN Tower in Toronto, one of the city's most popular tourist attractions. I was going through the X-ray machine, and they asked me to take off my vest. They also asked me to remove items from the pockets in the vest. They removed my phone from my pocket and dropped it in the basket when I was collecting my vest. I forgot to put the phone back in my pocket and proceeded to enter the exhibit for about five minutes. When I went to take a photo of an item on the tour, I couldn't find my phone I knew where it was so I turned around retrace my steps, made sure that they were gonna give me a reentry went into their highly secure staffing room and retrieved my phone immediately so don't slip up like I did and leave your phone behind when you're going through security, even if you seem to be a little bit nervous when you're going through there take a minute and make sure you have all your things. The smart move is to take a breath whenever you are going through a security situation. 60-second confidence challenge   Here's my challenge for you. Can you pack all of your toiletries and one small cube that will help build your confidence in many ways? Don't forget to zip up any items that could leak, especially if you have bug or mosquito protection, such as DEET, which should be double-bagged.   Resources Roundup   One of the good places to find resources is with your government agencies, such as the US consulate. Don't hesitate to check those out before you take a big trip.   Take away mantra and goodbye.   My takeaway for today is that traveling in one direction means that you don't have to double back and return to the same destination. Making a loop is a more efficient way to travel, draw a circle, and see where you can go on that journey, instead of just coming back.      

  Where in the world am I? Peru planning   Hi there. I'm Dr. Mary Travelbest, returning from a recent trip to Asia. I'm in San Diego now, sharing my best travel ideas and working on another book for you to enjoy: 5 Steps to Solo Travel, Part C. I'm about to launch on a 90-day trip around the world. Listener Story Spotlight I want to tell you about a listener named Raquel from Peru. She has been a friend for 40 years and has encouraged me to travel to Lima since then. She created all the images and designs for my first published travel book in 1993. She's been a friend for swimming in the ocean, concerts, joint baby showers, the funeral for her eldest son, and many shared life experiences. She's an awesome traveler and has a lot of advice for me. Where am I headed? Peru   Lima Daytime: Stroll the clifftop Malecón in Miraflores for Pacific views, then relax on Playa Waikiki (the closest swimmable stretch). Evening – Barranco bohemian district (street art, safe pedestrian areas). Airport → MA iraflores taxi ≈ Ucosts S $20. The Etropolitano bus is cheaper but busy. Keep valuables close . Lima is generally safe but practices big‑city vigilance.  The next day, Cusco Early Sky Airline or LATAM flight (1 hr 15 min; from ~US $31 one‑way) to acclimate gradually. Light walking tour of Plaza de Armas, San Blas artisans, coca‑tea stops. Book a morning flight so you can nap on arrival.  Day 3 Ollantaytambo (Sacred Valley) Shared van tour Pisac market & terraces → Ollantaytambo ruins. Stay here to cut altitude (2 800 m vs Cusco 3 400 m) and be close to the train. Hostel examples: Mama Simona (~US $25 private). Day 4 Aguas Calientes PeruRail Expedition train 07:45 or 10:32 (~1 h 40 min). Check‑in, soak in town hot springs, early bed. Expedition seats run ~US $65–75 each way.  Peru Rail Day 5 – MACHU PICCHU DAY Cusco (late) or Aguas Calientes (optional 2nd night) Cusco Free day: San Pedro market breakfast, Qorikancha, café break, optional half‑day Moray & Maras salt ponds tour. Morning flight Cusco → Lima; same‑ticket connection onward to Brazil (buffer at least three hours in Lima). Don't-Miss Beach Breaks If you'd like another ocean fix before Brazil, dedicate half a day to a Punta Hermosa day trip (1 hr south‑bound bus/Colectivo, US $4‑5). Choose calm Playa Caballeros for swimming or Playa Norte for quieter coves; eateries serve fresh ceviche on‑the‑sand.  Machu Picchu in Detail – 1 June Step What to do Tips & costs. 1. Tickets (book now!) Buy on tuboleto. Culture.pe—choose Circuit 2B (Classic Lower Terrace) for the iconic postcard view with moderate stairs. It costs 172 PEN ≈ US $45. Sales for 2025 opened on 19 Dec 2024; the daily cap is 5,6000, so June slots sell out early.  Peru Rail El País 2. Train 06:10 Inca Rail or 07:45 PeruRail Expedition from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes; arrive 08:30‑09:30. Sit on the left‑hand side for Urubamba River views.  Peru Rail 3. Bus up. Buy a Consettur round‑trip ticket (US $24) at the kiosk the night before; the first buses roll at 05:30, and it's a 25-minute ride.  Ticket Machu Picchu 4. Entry window Aim for the 09:00–10:00 slot (good light, less 6 am crowd, still before midday haze). Passport + ticket & small day‑pack only.   5. Guided visit (≈ 2 h) Hire certified guide at gate (~US $15 pp shared) to explore: Temple of the Sun, Sacred Plaza, Intihuatana, Three Windows.   6. Optional short hike Huchuy Picchu add‑on (easy 1 km, 30‑40 min, extra 48 PEN) – great summit photo without the steep drop of Huayna Picchu.  Ticket Machu Picchu 7. Lunch & return Picnic outside gate (no food inside), stamp passport, bus down, 16:20 train back to Cusco (arr. 20:30) or stay 1 more night at Aguas Calientes if you prefer a slower pace. Packing checklist: passport, printed tickets, layers (cool mornings/hot sun), rain shell, 1 L refillable bottle (no disposables), DEET, sunblock, walking poles with rubber tips, cash for snacks & toilets (2 soles). Altitude & health: Machu Picchu sits at 2 430 m—easier than Cusco, but you'll feel stairs. Hydrate, avoid alcohol the evening prior, and ask your doctor about acetazolamide if you've struggled with altitude before. Budget Snapshot (USD per person) Item Low Notes Lima hostel (2 nts) 2 × $20 – $40 Pariwana or Selina Miraflores (female‑only dorm vs private). LI‑CU round‑trip flights $70 – $120 Book early; Sky basic fare includes 8 kg carry‑on only. Cusco/Ollanta/Aguas stays (5 nts) 5 × $18 – $35 Mix of hostels & guest‑houses with private bath options. Trains (round‑trip) $130 – $150 Expedition or IncaRail Voyager class. Machu Picchu entry and bus: $45 ticket + $24 bus + $15 guide. Add $13 for Huchuy Picchu. Food & local transport $25/day × 7 ≈ $175 Menu del día lunches ~$4–6; airport shuttles, colectivos. Approx. Total $600–$750. It leaves room for souvenirs or a Paracas day trip. Safe & Comfortable Stays City Budget‑friendly, mature‑traveler‑approved Approx. price (private, en‑suite) Lima Ibis Budget Miraflores (hotel), Wasi Barranco (B&B) $40–60 Cusco Niños Hotel (supports local kids), Tierra Viva Cusco Saphi $38–55 Ollantaytambo El Albergue (historic hostel‑hotel blend) $65 (splurge), dorms $25 Aguas Calientes Supertramp Eco‑Hostel (quiet female dorm), Terrazas del Inca $22–50 Quick Tips for a Smooth Trip Book everything online in advance, including flights, trains, Machu Picchu tickets, and buses, to beat lines and lock in cheaper fares. Cash is still king in small villages—carry small sol notes; ATMs are plentiful in Lima & Cusco. Stay seaside savvy: Lima's Pacific is cold (wetsuits for surfers). Swim only on signed "safe" sections and watch rip currents. Lifeguards patrol Punta Hermosa in peak daylight hours.  Solo safety basics: use registered taxis (Taxi Beat or Cabify apps), avoid isolated beach areas at night, and keep photocopies of your passport in separate bags. Enjoy Peru's vibrant coast, Andean culture, and the wonder of Machu Picchu If you like today's Confidence Challenge, Chapter 3 of my book dives deeper https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com  My brother says, "Never run in an airport," and that's excellent advice. My sister says, when you get to a new place, tell yourself it's the "first" time you will visit, but not the last. If you are looking for more solo female resources, you can find several tips and ways to navigate the pitfalls with Rick Steves and Lonely Planet travel guides. The takeaway mantra is to see where the world takes you. You can travel solo and never be alone. Dr. Travelbest.

Story at-a-glance Mosquitoes are drawn to your body's natural scent, heat, breath, and even clothing color, making some people far more attractive to them than others Genetic factors account for about 62% of how attractive you are to mosquitoes, with identical twins showing nearly identical mosquito appeal in lab tests People with type O blood are bitten significantly more often than those with types A, B, or AB, though this doesn't impact how many eggs mosquitoes lay afterward Everyday choices like using scented lotion, wearing red or black clothing, drinking alcohol, or being overheated all raise your mosquito bite risk Plant-based oils like Russian sage and wild mint repel mosquitoes as effectively as DEET in lab studies, offering a safer way to protect yourself without toxic chemicals

Il ne faut pas appliquer de la crème solaire et un anti-moustique en même temps, ou du moins pas n'importe comment, car cela peut réduire l'efficacité des deux produits et augmenter les risques pour la peau.D'abord, les répulsifs, notamment ceux contenant du DEET (la molécule la plus courante), peuvent altérer la capacité de la crème solaire à protéger contre les UV. Des études ont montré que lorsqu'on applique un anti-moustique juste après la crème solaire, la protection solaire est diminuée, parfois de manière significative. Cela augmente le risque de coups de soleil et à long terme, les risques de vieillissement prématuré ou de cancer de la peau.Ensuite, l'ordre d'application est très important. Il faut toujours mettre d'abord la crème solaire, puis attendre environ 15 à 30 minutes pour qu'elle soit bien absorbée par la peau. Ce n'est qu'après ce délai qu'il est recommandé d'appliquer l'anti-moustique. La crème solaire doit pénétrer la peau pour être efficace, tandis que le répulsif, lui, agit en surface. Si on les applique dans l'ordre inverse ou trop rapprochés, le répulsif peut bloquer l'absorption de la crème solaire, ou la crème peut diluer le répulsif.Il faut également éviter de mélanger les deux produits directement dans la main avant application : cela dilue les principes actifs de chacun, et réduit leur efficacité.Enfin, il y a un risque de surdosage. La crème solaire doit être réappliquée toutes les deux heures, surtout après la baignade ou la transpiration. Mais si l'on remet aussi systématiquement du répulsif à chaque fois, cela peut entraîner une exposition excessive au DEET ou à d'autres substances, avec un risque accru d'irritations, surtout chez les enfants ou les peaux sensibles.En résumé : applique toujours la crème solaire en premier, laisse-la bien pénétrer, puis mets l'anti-moustique. Ne les mélange pas et évite de réappliquer le répulsif trop souvent. Il existe aussi des produits combinés, mais leur efficacité est souvent moins bonne qu'en appliquant séparément les deux produits de manière correcte. Hébergé par Acast.

Mosquitoes are the deadliest animal on the planet, and some of them may be on the rise. At least in listener Abigail Krich-Starr's area, that's due to warmer, wetter weather — which, yes, is linked to climate change. But it doesn't stop there: Ecologists and entomologists say increased heat could also alter mosquito behavior, shift their natural habitat, and even change how pathogens incubate and spread inside their bodies.So how do you protect yourself against the (mosquito) masses? Our experts suggested several things:- Assess your risk by checking local mosquito surveillance efforts, like this one for the state of Massachusetts- Consider rescheduling outdoor events happening between dusk and dawn, which is peak biting time for multiple mosquito species- Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants, weather-permitting, to limit exposed skin- Use an EPA-approved DEET repellent, and/or a permethrin spray for clothing and outdoor gearThis episode is part of Nature Quest, a monthly Short Wave segment that answers listener questions about the local environment.Got a question about changes in your local environment?

Story at-a-glance Despite limited scientific evidence supporting vitamin B1 as a mosquito repellent, many people report fewer bites when taking it. As a water-soluble vitamin with minimal risk, there's no harm in trying it Essential oils from Russian sage, tangerine peel and wild mint have demonstrated strong mosquito-repelling capabilities in studies, with Russian sage matching DEET's effectiveness for up to 135 minutes Traditional remedies like oils from Hatkora fruit and Anchiri root provide impressive protection lasting over six hours; this makes them viable natural alternatives to chemical repellents Eliminating standing water around your home is key for mosquito control, as these insects need water to breed and typically don't travel far from their hatching sites Natural mosquito control strategies include wearing light-colored clothing, installing bat houses and planting repellent herbs like citronella, lavender and marigold near entryways

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek brought to you by Sawyer Products, we are joined by Brandon “Horsepower” Weis. With minimal prior backpacking experience, in 2021,  Brandon successfully completed the calendar year triple crown plus a thru-hike of the Arizona Trail. The next two years were not any more laid back, as he accrued more than 15,000 miles worth of backpacking over a three year span, including treks of the Benton MacKay Trail, Pinhoti, Oregon Desert Trail, Bigfoot Trail, Pacific Northwest Trail, Colorado Trail, Hayduke, and the Sheltowee Trace Trail. In addition to giving us an overview of these treks, Horsepower delights us with fun stories, including a terrifying encounter with a grizzly, sleeping in countless pit toilets, being asked to leave a restaurant due to his odor, accidentally drinking deet, and more.  We wrap the show with an overview of the first half of trail days, including how Badger is the world's biggest moron, the triple crown of our short section hike on the AT, and how many drinks constitute drinking.

#456: Before you buy bug spray this summer, you'll want to tune into this episode! In this replay, we gets to the bottom of the question: Is DEET really bad? Liz discusses permethrin, picaridin and even some natural options and shares what she REALLY thinks the best option is (it may not be what you expect!) and why she's not a fan of essential oils. Liz also shares tips on using bug sprays with sunscreen and which insect repellents you should NEVER combine. She reveals what to do if you get a tick bite (and what you should NEVER do!), her pediatrician's advice for bug spray, and the truth about which blood type mosquitoes love the most. If you want optimal protection from bugs this summer, this is a MUST listen!

We're outnumbered, folks! The estimated number of insects to humans is 200 million to one. This is a battle we will most definitely lose. Yet, we try in vain. In this hive of insect activity, repellents can help you steer clear of nasty stings and bites. But is our reliance on bug sprays harming our health? Mosquitos are a pest! Every year, a third of us will cover ourselves with almost five pounds of bug repellent to keep those blood-thirsty bugs at bay. Okay, so there is a good reason to do so. After all, there are many mosquito and tick-transmitted diseases to ward off: West Nile virus, malaria, and Lyme Disease, to name a couple. So, I'm not here to tell you that protecting yourself from bites isn't important. But, if the repellent you're using can fend off mosquitoes, maybe what it's doing to you isn't so great either. In this Fatal Conveniences™, I break down the most common toxic chemicals lurking in insect repellents, such as DEET (N, N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide), the granddaddy of them all. I also explain how these repellents affect children and the simple things you can do today to keep insects away without sacrificing your health. Bugs, insects, insects, Insecta, or insectum—whatever you call our hexapod invertebrates, these creepy critters are vital for our ecosystems. So, finding non-harmful, preventative alternatives is crucial for the survival of not only us as a species but also this incredible planet that we live on.
