0:04.0	similar to COVID-19, but it comes from ticks. We have some tick bite prevention safety tips from
0:10.8	experts, plus our visit to Washington, DC. All the sites, the monuments, where to stay, and more.
0:17.2	This is RV Miles. This podcast is sponsored by LL Bean, who makes it easy and fun to simply
0:24.5	step outside. That might mean breaking a speed record and a rugged built for fun sonic snow tube,

2:03.8	And it's also very similar to that of COVID-19. Thanks. So their experts have some advice for
2:09.8	avoiding tick bites, which I think we're all keen on doing. Before going outdoors, dress in light
2:15.2	colored clothing with pants tucked into your socks. It might not look the greatest, but it's going to
2:20.8	keep that tick from crawling up your legs, especially if you're going on a hike out in the woods.
