You don't mention any sort of sunscreen or insect repellent.

If you're going to be on a bus in close quarters, I'd strongly consider using something to prevent catching things from your seatmates.

I'd skip the 'body spray' and use a combination of DEET spray and some geranium-oil based natural repellent.

Against head lice,

[quote:https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/lice/head/treatment.html]
Some experts believe prophylactic treatment is prudent for persons who share the same bed with actively-infested individuals.
[...]
Given as a tablet in mass drug administrations, oral ivermectin has been used extensively and safely for over two decades in many countries to treat filarial worm infections. [b]Although not FDA-approved for the treatment of lice, ivermectin tablets given in a single oral dose of 200 micrograms/kg or 400 micrograms/kg repeated in 9-10 days has been shown effective against head lice.[/b]

For the biking part, the East Coast is not a good place to be bitten by things.

[quote:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3195518/]
Based on this trial, a single dose of doxycycline 200 mg orally may be considered in patients bitten by a tick that can be identified as an I. scapularis tick. Current recommendations are to use prophylaxis only in areas with high rates of tick infection (rates >20%). Lyme endemic areas are generally considered to be the eastern seaboard of the United States from Maryland to Maine [...] 
Before considering antibiotic prophylaxis, it should be established that the tick has been attached for >36 hours, and prophylaxis, if given, should begin within 72 hours of removal of the tick.

Vermont appears to be one of the areas with a high incident rate of Lyme.  https://www.cdc.gov/ticks/tickbornediseases/tick-bite-prophylaxis.html

If you need all this ... Fluconazole would theoretically take care of foot fungal issues from shared showers or wherever they were acquired: https://www.singlecare.com/prescription/fluconazole/dosage

If you already have a fish tank, you'd already have these things handy, but they would be cheaper to get from a doctor if you have Medicare or similar.

Reef Flux Anti-Fungal = Fluconazole 200mg

Fishbiotic Doxy is actually rather expensive, especially if you just need two. It's much, much cheaper from India, but takes at least a month to arrive.

Ivermectin has already been covered here on GLP.
