When you are out in the wilderness, pitching that tent, making your comfy campfire, and hiking through the woods to get to that fresh water creek, you know to keep your eyes open.
Simply, an outdoorsman does not know what wild beasts might be out there in the deep dark woods ready to do them and theirs harm. Even something as majestic and calm as a deer can be dangerous if it feels it’s being threatened!
Yet, there is a menace out there that is far more dangerous than what you may think. We are not talking about bears, wild cats, or even monkeys and birds! It is a real threat and you may not even know you are at risk until the results of your encounter make you ill!
Over on the next page, we will tell you what harms people who live off the grid the most!
It’s not only shocking but will make you itchy!

The harm is the gov coming in and destroying your s**t
as far as I know, here in Alaska, the only thing transmitted by this danger is potential insanity. Bad enough for me..
Don’t bother reading. It’s mosquitoes, and the diseases they carry(like malaria). I saved you all from the clickbait garbage. You’re welcome, lol.
The article says it’s mosquitoes.
Ignorance harms the most on or off the grid…
Lack of dental care would be the biggest long term problem.
I hate these things … go to next page…… I don’t even look at them any more.
The mosquito can get you no matter where you are.
seltzer water has quinine in it and it was used for malaria. it is a smaller dose than whats int he medicnine but the medicine was outlawed because fo side effects. im just sayin g if you get malaria you could relieve some problems with the seltzer water til you can get to urgent care clinic im not purposing waiting more than 24 hours at the outside that would be stupid. but its something you might have on hand that might help. however remember that a whole lot of anything isnt great and that quinine was discontinued due to “he side effects commonly seen at therapeutic concentrations are referred to as cinchonism, with mild forms including tinnitus, slight impairment of hearing, headache and nausea. Impairment of hearing is usually concentration dependent and reversible [17]. More severe manifestations include vertigo, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, marked auditory loss, and visual symptoms, including loss of vision. Hypotension may occur if the drug is given too rapidly, and venous thrombosis may occur following intravenous injections [10]. Intramuscular administration is painful and may cause sterile abscesses. Hypoglycaemia is yet another common side effect of quinine therapy [15, 18] and is a particular problem in pregnant women[19]. Hypoglycaemia has been reported to occur in up to 32% of patients receiving quinine therapy[18]. However in more recent studies, hypoglycaemia occurred in only 3% of adults and 2.8% of African children receiving quinine [20, 21]. Less frequent but more serious side effects of quinine therapy include skin eruptions, asthma, thrombocytopaenia, hepatic injury and psychosis [22].”Malaria Journal201110:144
