#323819 TICKS!

Hate those things. Gives me the shivers just thinking about it. As long as you check yourself out after going through wooded areas and remove the tick before it's been attached for 24 hrs the threat of contracting Lyme disease is very low. It also has to be a certain kind of tick that carries the bacteria. Careful when removing then as they burrow their heads right into your skin which can break off and cause infection. Def tuck pants into socks and use bug spray. The range of these ticks has been increasing year by year due to milder winters in (last 2 excluded) so they may exist where they have previously never been encountered
