I have been outside for the past two weeks on an off getting the garden ready. I have noticed 4 of the tiniest ticks I have ever seen. Two were on me, one on Hunter and oddly enough Brady found one on the kitchen floor. Two years ago they were BAD but last year was great! I was sitting here looking outside and thinking that they are going to probably be horrible this summer. Then a news report comes on the news stating that because of our mild winter and this rainy season we have had thus far it is the perfect breeding grounds. They also stated that there have already been cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. So to those that venture outside for long periods of time, be on the lookout for those nasty creatures!
