Just a quick note…I went for another short hike with my friend this morning, and she called me later to say she found a tick on herself. Conventional wisdom is that you don’t have to worry about ticks once there’s been a solid freeze, but that is obviously not so! (at least not here in Delaware, where it doesn’t stay below freezing in the winter). In fact, my friend is a veterinarian, and she says she’s still seeing ticks on dogs, too.
So, be sure you and your family wear bug spray with DEET when you spend time outdoors!
My recent experience with Lyme disease may have left me a bit overcautious, but you know what they say – it’s not paranoia if they’re really out to get you (i.e. the ticks)!
