Pennsylvania

I live in a clearing in the woods. Most of the ticks I see are American Dog Ticks even though we are surrounded by deer. Whenever I go into the woods, when I come out it is straight to a hot shower to wash them off before they have time to dig in. (gets rid of the chiggers too) Even with that a few times a year I will find one that has quitely found a nice place to make a home and is dug in nice and snug... No lyme so far. We enjoy having the deer around and we have some feed piles for them that we can view from our office. Two does and a spotted fawn have been making regular appearances over the past week; they love the shelled corn.
