My sweet friends! NEVER walk in tall grass like that without first putting insect repellant like the stuff made for deep-forest hiking! (Deet) Ticks wait on the top of the grass blades with their front legs outstretched just WAITING to grab onto you!! After hiking, ALWAYS check for ticks! I live in east-central Pennsylvania and back in the late 90’s, I unknowingly got a deer tick on my back and got a bite from it. After waiting two weeks and wondering what this itchy “bulls eye” lump was, the doctor told me she was 80% sure it was from a deer tick and I had to take doxycyline to get rid of any Lyme disease that was in me! BE CAREFUL PLEASE! WEAR LONG PANTS AND TUCK THE CUFFS INTO YOUR HIKING SHOES/BOOTS, ETC. Check yourself once you get home for any ticks!! Check out this clip on how ticks attach to you!
Here’s the clip on ticks and how to protect yourself from them!
