Health and Safety
Other than picking up a cold during the dreary winter season there is little to worry about in terms of your health when visiting New Hampshire. The residents here live healthy hearty lives, eating good local food and drinking fresh clean water. If you venture into the woods, however, there are a few things to consider. The thick hardwood forests are often home to deer ticks that may carry Lyme disease, a killer. Always check your hair and body after a long walk in the woods. Poison ivy is not dangerous, but it’s extremely annoying if this rash-forming creeper touches your exposed skin. Learn what it looks like and avoid it at all costs or you’ll be itching for the rest of your stay.
Crime really isn’t an issue in New Hampshire either. There’s always the potential for theft if you are casual enough to leave valuables sitting in your parked car, but in general you can walk the streets of most towns at night without concern and venture into the wilderness without fear of being abducted. Just use your common sense.
