From December to April I had 4 Lime Disease ticks (Deer ticks) attached to me and 2 Wood ticks. I had to go on antibiotics for the Lime Disease bites. Those ticks are so small.... Like the size of a very small freckle and are round. They drop off the deer and fall to the ground where the mice pick them up and bring them home to their nests. Wood ticks have an oval body and carry Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Virginia has already been declared LD epidemic state by the CDC because of the very mild Winter and the number of cases. As I am typing this on my iPad, I just saw a wood tick crawling on my iPad. Yuk! Now I'm crawling all over.
