Yes literally ticks were falling from the sky yesterday! The local mts here have hundreds and hundreds of deer taxisâs , I mean they are EVERYWHERE ! Itâs getting so bad with ticks now I am starting to hesitate going out⊠Yesterday I got so hot I took off my gear and shirt. Within 5 minutes I had 3 ticks land on me without even moving! They were falling from the sky , there was no trees anywhere near where I was !! Itâs getting stupid already. I stood and picked off a total of 23 , yes 23 ticks that I could find. This is happening Every time Iâm out riding or hiking. I come home and completely strip and put my clothes in the washer and jump in the shower. I have found ticks still attached after showering and even the next day in the house So far I found only one buried into my hip two days later. I do not like DEET especially when you sweat and the entire body would have to be covered. The only answer I can see is that the Bambiâs need massive thinning out country wide as this isnât just a local problem. Is it just a matter of time before I get one with lymes ? My family doesnât even want me to go out there now itâs so bad. We know of at least three people in the immediate area whose lives have been changed forever because of lymes⊠maybe itâs time to go back to being a roadie and just fight with exhast fumes and vehicles. What are you guys doing beyond the obvious?
