Just make sure you’re aware of your surroundings, definitely keep your door locked (even when you’re home like you said), and if you don’t have any invest in some good pepper spray!

Also, just to be safe, I wouldn’t touch that flower again with your bare hands. Not that someone is after you, but sickos exist and you can’t be too careful. Just throw it away and stay safe out there!

PS Amazon has great options for pepper spray. I recommend RedSaber brand. I also live close to that area and the number of shady folks has definitely been on the rise. I always keep my eyes open and spray on me.

the flower is definitely gone, I tossed it out in the grass once we realized there was something going on

noted about the pepper spray, I have an emergency one in my car so it might be time that comes inside for a while

My partner even has a spray from that brand that looks like a lipstick. Super concealable, but just as potent! 🤓 I’m glad you tossed the flower and hope you don’t have any more issues!

Edit I (a bigger fella) carry the lipstick one when I walk my dog because it is so easy and convenient, not because it’s lipstick.
