We have them here in Maryland too! My husband has the Alpha Gal allergy and it is horrible! Aside from not eating mammal meat, mammal products are ingredients in so many things you wouldn’t expect.

I stood on a mound of fire ants, and got like 20 bites on my left ankle. Not nearly as bad as people say. It did raise white welt blisters over the next few days though.

Ticks especially the Lone Star tick have been developed for bio-warfare purposes since right after WW II. Plum Island, Fort Dietrich, Pine Bluff Arsenal and Hamilton Labs have been involved. There have been a bunch of escapes and purposeful releases.

Ugh, and here I was thinking by leaving Connecticut for South Carolina, I'd most likely never have to worry about ticks again.....!

Thanks for the ping, upchuck.

FWIW, I’ve been living in SC since 2003 and I’ve never seen a tick or had one on my body.

Disclaimer: I do not do to places that are a tick paradise: woods, grass taller than 6 inches, etc.

I hear Guinea Hens are good at keeping the yard tick free, and they’re supposed to be good eating to boot.

Thanks, FRiend. That's encouraging. :-)

We currently live in woods in Connecticut. We've both had those disgusting ticks embedded under our skin a few times. FORTUNATELY neither of us has ever gotten Lyme Disease (named after Lyme, CT). But we know several CT residents who have had Lyme Disease. With lasting damage...

In SC we will *not* be living in woods.

They also eat snakes as well. Possums eat ticks too- that’s why I always try to avoid hitting them while I’m driving.
