Your overall health can have great bearing on your
ability to function in the field. Further, being outdoors can easily
affect your state of health. Distractions arising from poor
personal hygiene, foreign matter in one's eye, bothersome insects, and so
forth can all pull your attention away from your work making you miserable
in the process and possibly necessitating a time consuming and potentially
expensive visit to the doctor.
