EEHH!
We are infested with deer! So, I am sure that means lots of tick too!
I remember going out to Fire Island (a little island off of Long Island) a few years ago, they have so many deer out there and they are not afraid of humans, away they were COVERED in ticks, I wanted to vomit, and this is coming from someone who has pretty bad eyesight (distance) - so if I could see the ticks, there had to be thousands of them - gross
