Dog and I had six on us this weekend. She had flea and tick treatment and I was wearing DEET. One buried in my side pretty deep.

Had 4 latched on a few weeks ago. A couple swelled pretty good. Ended up with a prescription of steroid cream and antibiotics

Picked two deer ticks off of myself yesterday. I usually find ticks crawling around but very rarely do they ever dig in and both of these were dug in.

One of the guys at work had his son get bit by a tick a week or so ago. Broke out in a rash all down one side of the little guy's body. Yep, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.

I got bit and the Dr put me on 21 days of antibiotics as a prophylactic to Lyme. He said there is really no reason to test as most of them are positive in this area (northern Indiana).

I was a boy scout, camped and hunted all my life, never had a tick till early 1970's.
Both Indiana and Michigan, state bug biologists have told me tick numbers have been increasing over the last decade.
I have had countless ticks attached in the last 10 years, & I remove a hundred or more from my Britt every day while grouse hunting in Michigan every day we are out

None this weekend in Michigan. I do have a small bite on my side that may have been one. Deer flies up the wazoo though. I fogged the yard twice.

Found 3 on myself after clearing a bit of brush on July 3rd. I would not say it is more than normal, but still a pita.

Total this year on myself I have found 10(zero latched on). Dogs are doing better though as they have been staying in the treated back yard, and I have not taken any of them hiking this year. Speaking of treating it is probably time to hit the yard again.
