Ticks have really exploded over the years- we kids lived in the woods, and never got Lyme disease, or any of the other things you can get, but now you must check yourself whenever you work outside because Lyme disease, and several other diseases are no joke- th3y flatten even the most healthy person. The ticks are everywhere now. Stopped at a boat launch site to get a photo once, got out, stood on the grass for maybe a minute, got home, and found a tick on me- deer tick. Even gardening you can get them too- it’s getting pretty bad
Now there is a cow killer tick? Swell.
It's global warming, I tell ya!!!
