Posted by Ghost5 My trip to PA last weekend I found 3 on me, and my friend found 2. Then an hour later he felt another one and flicked it off. Def pay attention and if you wear boots get some boot blousers and seal up the your legs.

Where I'm at I haven't had a tick on me in 7 years.
I'm so glad to not have to do the nightly search & destroy missions...
If you aren't as fortunate to live in a tick free zone, thorough nightly checks are mandatory. Trust me, that small inconvenience is much better to endure than even a case of Lyme disease caught early.
It can have life altering consequences to spite prompt treatment... this I learned the hard way.
Some victims have gotten to learned much
more than me
Again, this is only one of the diseases spread by these parasites. RMS fever is life threatening and requires immediate treatment.
You can get multiple infections at once too.
