Same here. I was introduced to tick season in the most horrible way this year. Me and Sterling went off the trail for a few minutes and when we got back onto the trail, I looked down, and my pant legs were covered in ticks! It's taking me a few weeks to recover from that. I still don't know how I'll do if I see another one on myself, but at least I'm now able to take them off of my dog. My family had gone fiddle heading, and they said that between them all, they had pulled off about 40 ticks in one trip this year. Suddenly the world's largest Fiddle heads can stay un picked.That’s an interesting article. Thanks for the info! That’s a lot of ticks each day. Hope it ends soon! Tick season is terrible. This year seems especially worse where I live.
