{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Ticks - some useful information

From my understanding the real determining factor for risk of Lyme is how large the field mice population is - the ticks jump to the deer and the low growth and hence it can be anywhere. A warmer winter is certain good for mouse reproduction. Might also explain, at least in my experience, the greater number of foxes I've spotted in low light or night  conditions over the last several months.

Thanks so much for this information, Mark. With that mild winter the ticks are going to be out in force.

In looks like Permethrin-treated clothing (aka InsectShield) and either DEET or Picaridin sprayed directly on the skin. (I'll probably go for the second since it doesn't degrade degrade plastics or stain fabric).
