Reply to comment by climbhigher420 in TIL that tularemia is an infectious disease that can be contracted by “inhaling particles from an infected rabbit ground up [by] a lawnmower”. by krisalyssa

This. Even if you have a big yard it's worth it trust me.

My father in law always told me a story about when he was young and went outside while his older brother was mowing the lawn. The lawnmower hit a rock and flew and hit my father in law in the face and knocked his eye out of his eye socket.

I'm a bit more lax about the weed whacking. I've caught it enough times in the shin, it stings but it's not too bad

I've sent some gravel an impressive distance, but I also use this like death spinner thing that's closer to a circular saw blade than a filament
