Lots of factors play in like ground cover (leaves) and what not. Much time below -10 supposedly kills off quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoughnut Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I pulled one off the back of my leg last weekend and the only reason I did because it felt like a bad pimple, I couldn't see it so (it was right below my white, hairy,pimply ass ) I just reached back, pinched it and pulled it off, sure enough it was a deer tick. My wife looked at it and said I had the bullseye but nothing has become of it, damn those things are tiny and their bite is a bit more painful, a wood tick you don't feel at all.

Lymes is an absolutely terrible disease. I know a woman with it. She can have a series of really good days. Then one day she can’t even walk down a flight of stairs without help. Only 32 years old and she’ll be that way for the rest of her life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
