Hi Jane & All,
My legs are well sealed in; pant legs tucked in socks, a cut off=20
sock pulled up beyond high laced boots and then pulled down over the=20
boots. But I often walk under branches, shrubs etc. and I suspect they=20
drop on me.
Question. Do deer ticks here frequent only grass and not high=20
foliage/parts of shrubs and trees ?
Yt. DW, Kentville
