Just a note to those that hike in the southern regions. My dog took an unexpected hour long run in the woods behind my house which prompted me to take a walk looking for her. I was wearing tan colored nylon pants and when I returned found maybe 15 or so ticks (those were the ones I saw in front) climbing up my legs. Pants are outside waiting to be washed. I spent the next 1/2 hour pulling ticks off the dog and depositing them in a jar of alchohol. I ended up with quite a collection, maybe 30. I am sure there are more burrowed into her fur. I have friends battling lyme; nasty disease. Be careful and check yourself after a hike.
