....more TICKS !! 4/30/17:
I was banging around this mornin' before I went down river, made a stop on the North Branch at Rt. 202. talked to a fly guy who was pounding the stockies !! Seen some trash and walked off the gravel area into the grassy leaf area. Walked out and looked down, my sweatpants were moving !! Picked off no less than 6 ticks !! Each one I pinched, put on the ground and hit them with my lighter until they popped. These were the big "dog" ticks I call them, clumsy and easily spotted. It's those tiny tiny tiny deer ticks that REALLY scheeve me out !
(ticks don't seem to stick to my waders though)

Keep an eye out for "bull's eye" welt at bite area. Sure sign of lyme disease. It can be cured if caught quickly and medicated

Bad stuff. After every day in the woods, I shower and wash my clothes to reduce my chances of getting infected with Lyme Disease. Some of those ticks are small as hell.

The bulls eye can show up anywhere on the body. Not just at the site of the bite. I had the bullseye twice and it wasn't at the site of the bite either time.

Re: ....more TICKS !! 4/30/17:
You are right that's not a deer tick. It is a lone star tick. They carry every disease that the deer ticks do. Bullseyes do not alway appear in all infected bites. Having gotten hammered by Lyme, You don't want no part of waiting for symptoms. Go to a walkin tell them you were bitten and get a couple of weeks to a month of doxycyclene or what ever you can take. Lyme is not the only disease they carry there are a couple of other nasty and fatal bad boys they can deliver.
