Trek 101 | 3 Things You Can Arm Yourself Against Limatiks


3 Things You Can Arm Yourself Against Limatiks
 Limatiks, Being Prepared vs Being Ready


I've been climbing Philippine mountains for almost 3 years by now, I'm someone you would consider advance when it comes to hiking, but still far from the intermediate level. I've only encountered Limatiks or Forest leeches 3 times on 3 different hiking trips. One of those trips left me a very traumatic experience; this prompted me to read more about these blood sucking parasites and be best prepared to a point of paranoia, lessons learned the hard way by experience.

Limatik will latch on to everything that passes their way, even my trek pole.
