THIS IS JUST A GUIDE, REFERENCE, AND NOT TAILORED TO YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS.

WHEN/WHERE IS FALLS ON FIRE?

Request your dates off if you haven’t! Falls on Fire is at Indian Tree Ranch in Hilo, Hawaii.

THINGS TO WATCH OUT FOR:

SLUGS

slugs can pose a health risk as potential carriers of rat lungworm disease (angiostrongyliasis). This disease is caused by a parasite that can infect humans if ingested accidentally, often through contaminated produce or water. While cases are relatively rare, they can lead to serious neurological complications in some individuals if untreated.

Prevention: Seal food and water, wash wild gathered produce, and wash your hand before eating.

CUTS

Exposing an open cut to water in streams can increase the risk of infection due to the presence of various bacteria and parasites
