We r adamant about sprayin kids and thourough and religous tick checks every nite. We get our whole yard sprayed every month with some voodoo bs organic tick spray (wife concerned about well water gettin contaminated). With that bein said in the past 2 weeks we have pulled ticks off both kids. We send them out to some place in amherst to have them checked. Both this year clean. But one last year on our son tested positive for that new deadly brain eatin disease that they dont know how to treat. Was an anxiety filled wait for his test to come back negative
All u can do is spray yourself down good with deet, shower good asap after possible contact with them, like mowin lawn/ yardwork, tick checks, and hope for the best
And drink lots of booze so they dont wanna suck on u in the first place

Have the wife look up Hanta virus (sic) spread by mice in the desert. Stick with ticks.
