Two Things You Should Know if Your Woodland Walk Looks Like This...

Let's just say, the paths I walk on in the woods aren't exactly groomed. In the winter and early spring they are passable, but once the vegetation gets going, they devolve into animal paths (which could explain why I have developed such a knack for finding animal bones).

And eventually, I might find myself in waist high weeds. (This patch surprised me as a couple years ago it was a very nice path.)

So, what are the two things you need to know? That, yes, you DO need to check yourself for ticks, more than once. Some are quite small and they take some work to find if they have made it into your hair.
