My wife was giving one of my boys a bath just yesterday and found a small deer tick (likely a nymph) on the crack of his rear end, you can never be too careful. It wasn't filled with blood yet, must have just attached. I always do tick checks

When we used to have horses they spent more time in the barn in the spring/summer than any other time of year. We had one mare that would absolute lose her sh t over the deer and horse flies.

I found out as long as you keep moving the Skeeters leave you alone,I think my Wife likes them, I cant take to many breaks when in the Yard.

I have to pull off a couple of crawling ticks every time I go for a walk in the woods. Spray your shoes, socks, and pant legs so they drop off as soon as they hop on. If it hasn't bitten, you're okay. If it bites but isn't engorged with blood yet, you're probably okay. If it's engorged with blood, then in NH you have a 30% chance of it having Lyme, and a 30% change of contracting it from that tick. About a 10% change overall.
