Yes, we learn to look for bee hives, but harder to notice a rat's nest in a palm, or visiting snake.
Very unnerving to have a rat run by you, (or even squirrel), or a snake pop out in your face just inches away, especially on a palm you are just lanyarded into; with no place to go at all, can't step aside or swing........! Except maybe down real quick if you screw up!
Oh did wee mention the Palmetto bugz? Like a giant cockroach infesting palms, (some say they are the state bird) get all over ya, kinda creepy; the only good thing is that they are generally not mixed in with fire ants that burn so bad in numbers over 5.......... And when you trim palms, especially when hot and sweaty, the dust seems like insulation on skin and lungs.
So, when those jobs for 30-70 palms come up, they don't get no break here!
