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.

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.
