Oh my, lol. You nailed this one for me! I'm with you 100 percent. I have to cover myself head to foot and tuck my pants into my socks, and spray myself with some stuff that calls itself a tick repellent (not an exterminator, which is what I hoped to find in my search on Amazon).

We can't enjoy our gardens as much anymore. And walking in the tall grass alongside our stream is totally out of the question :(

But your article made my day today!
