me either, although I have had deer ticks on me- not many- but they are getting worse/more prevalent- One tick was pretty well embedded- don’t know howl ong it was attached- they are so stinking small I didn’t see it right away- left a erd mark- but no typical bullseye pattern

But I know people I n area that have had lyme disease- man, it really wrecks people’s lives- one woman had to have antibiotics pumped straight into her body- and nearly died- she got better, but is sick again with lyme-

the health center said cases are up 300% this year- I have hade some funky rash docs couldn’t figure out on my foot- I’m pretty certain it came from woods- but not 100% certain- tried all kinds of shtuff on it- the only thing that worked was anti-fungal medicines- but doc said it wasn’t ringworm- who knows- it was a pain to get rid of

Anyways- it all depends on where you are I n the country- people in Conn, NJ and long island/lower NY can’t even go out In their own manicured yards without getting numerous ticks o n them anymore- People in other states like maine, Nh, Vt etc don’t have to worry so much- The south is rife with ticks as well- Midwest you have other tick bourne viruses-

I live in southern Connecticut, which is definitely overrun by ticks. And I've had ticks crawl on me. But they never get a chance to embed. I can feel them crawling on my skin and I get them off pretty quickly. I am very ticklish and I guess I have sensitive skin, which helps protect me. Also, I take a hot shower every morning and never felt a tick on me.

I also know people that have gotten Lyme disease. They must not have sensitive skin.
