Don't underestimate your hiking nemesis. Arm yourself with protective gears and
bug repellents. To ward off the threats of the wild, have a keen eye and prepare well. Ignorance is never an excuse while knowledge can always come as handy weapon. If you think ants and bees can turn life to hell, think of microorganisms in the water such as Giardia Lamblia and Cryptosporidium. They can make you feel really sick to your stomach and make you suffer from unexplainable ill experiences. So never drink unfamiliar water even if it looks pure and clean. Drink only from treated water because looks can be truly deceiving.
