The ticks don't freeze and die in the winter? I've never seen a tick before, don't have them here that I know of.

I just retired from the military when my father said he was too old to run the family tobacco farm. I'm doing nothing but land clearing and cutting wood during this time of the year and have pulled more than a few small deer ticks off me. 23 years as an Infantry NCO and I never had a second thought about the hundreds of ticks I've had attached to me over the years. These little deer ticks have me nervous and this thread is a definite wake up call to make sure I do some preventive steps to try to keep those little congressmen off me.
Hope you have a speedy recovery.
