Deer ticks are bad news. I am often outdoors, 7 days a week during the spring summer and fall months and have only encounters a few ticks. Last summer found 2 dog ticks and 1 deer tick crawling on me. This year found no ticks on me but unfortunately contracted Lyme Disease after 3 weeks of Doxycycline I have hopefully gotten rid of it. If left unchecked it can cause major health problems. The can attach anywhere on your body but often like damp/moist areas. Most of the time people dont even know they had a tick on them untill they get Lyme Disease. Ticks can bury into your skin and be as small as a dot/period.
I fish because the voices in my head tell me too.
Icefishing is the life.
Beware of the LURKERS
