Yeah, well.

Lime disease should change some folks minds. You get it from tick bites, and the disease will ruin ones own life. These infested ticks are in many parts of the USA. The biggest reason why I'll never go hiking kilted.

I knew some one who got Rocky Mt. fever from a tick bite... Well, he's no longer with us (family friend).

Spray your body with "OFF" or something.. maybe that will help. Me, I'm not chancing it.
