Ticks as plentiful as fish- a cautionary tale

[Dick G]

Even though we sprayed up, it is hard to believe the number of ticks Bill and I encountered in Wisconsin and Michigan last week. We did some bush whacking and paid the price. We tried to do a careful inspection after our last wade. We still had ticks in the vehicle, in our fishing tackle, on our clothing, on our legs, and in our pants. Normally, I wouldn't have mentioned it, but we were still finding more ticks since we got home Thursday night. I found one on my leg on Saturday and Bill just took the last one out of his truck today. So be careful where you set down duffle bags/equipment and where you sit and walk when outdoors up north. In several previous trips, I have encountered only one tick. This time we hit the jackpot.

I have heard this same thing from numerous people around here, and from their trips up north. I hate ticks! Ryan
