No, not heat stroke. No, not breaks and sprains from falling off cliffs or twisting limbs. No, not even heart attacks in people who should know better than to hike into the Canyon. Given the context of this post, you probably can guess, but I'll tell you anyway: Squirrel bites. At least, that's what a clinic doc once told me. I'm guessing heat exhaustion and general lacerations are probably up there, too, but still. You are not alone. Know what the #1 most common problem treated at the Grand Canyon Clinic?
