After getting Lyme twice (one resulting in facial paralysis), I’m nervous about hiking in trails, unless they are somewhat wide and well-traveled. I take all the precautions I can (socks over pants, Picaridin) but the anxiety is still there unless I know don’t have to go through tall grass or bushes. Are there trails in ADK where you can avoid tick-populated areas?

I’ve been using The Ordinary Azelaic acid 10% morning and night for months and seen great results! When I saw my dermatologist I got a prescription strength (15%) AA. Has anyone made a similar switch? How often are you using it?
