Wow. Since moving to kentucky six years ago I’ve been nailed by over ten ticks. Why don’t I have lyme disease?

Already had a tick on my neck after doing yardwork last weekend. First tick I have had in the 16 years living at this house. Going to be a bad year here in Alabama too.

Interesting. A few weeks ago — in March! — my dog already picked up a tick. I was shocked. The temperature had only been just above freezing and on an irregular basis at that point.

Yeah, could be a bad year.

The Lone star tick carries a bacteria that can result in allergy to red meat. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/02/140220102727.htm

Thanks for the ping. There is a campground near me that is usally infested with ticks in the summer. I’ll have to keep this in mind.
