i'll never forget the day my wife and i decided to take a stroll across a grass field next to the charles river....a place we never hiked to before.... midway thru the field i decided to do a tick check on our pantlegs to see how many we picked up thus far if any...and we were covered with them - 20 easy per leg.... luckilly we had the foresight to pull our socks up over our pantlegs. we dusted off ....turned around and headed back to car and dusted them off again.

you'd have to wear smooth waders to cross that damn field...
enough for me to put a fish box dusted with tick powder under it and I still swept someoff the floor of the garage... hundreds...plural!
