The Lyme Disease Research Group reports a mild winter could mean an especially rough time for ticks.
Medical experts fear that many people who’ve been stuck inside due to coronavirus may “let their guard down” once they’re able to venture outdoors and not pay attention to tick bite prevention.

I've been fighting the damned ticks for the past two months. I've sprayed the area around the house but to do the entire property would cost me thousands.
I take a low dosage garlic pill every night and that keeps them off of me, so that ain't no big deal but that asshole dog Jack is a tick magnet because he's not happy unless he's in the trees or chest high in brush trying to find something to kill. I give both dogs tick and flea meds and while they don't latch on to him much, they cling to his coat so I'm constantly checking him and brushing them off before he can come into the house, averaging 3-4 a day.
