A Tick Here, A Tick There...

Locals are now beginning to realize how bad this tick season is going to be.  People are finding ticks all over themselves, when they have barely been outside in a place where ticks are usually found.  Once a person finds a tick on themselves, they start to feel like ticks are roaming all over their bodies, and no one wants that feeling.  This slightly humorous local newspaper article talks about how bad this wood tick season might really be and some ways to protect yourself against ticks.  Wood ticks are tiny and ugly, but they are very dangerous too because they might carry tick-borne diseases.  Lyme disease is the most common, and can cause very severe problems to the joints, nerves, and heart, and many times symptoms are just overlooked.  Check out the whole article here to read more. http://www.postbulletin.com/news/local/jen-s-world-news-to-make-our-skin-crawl-it/article_acecb008-0165-58c8-95de-4fe409844394.html
