What’s eating you?Summertime is the peak season for outdoor events. Barbecues, backyard sports, hikes, picnics, camping trips, fishing and many other activities could be on your agenda. All seem harmless, or so you might think, but there is almost an invisible danger outdoors just waiting for someone to walk by and become a quick meal.
