Now that I have your attention...
Due to this winter being abnormally warm...and generally NOT winter. People need to be aware that TICKS are going to be out of control this year.
Entomologists from UMass just released an article stating that normally a huge bit of the deer tick population dies off over the winter due to exposure. That didn't happen, so the populations will be booming this year. There have already been record numbers of people showing up at local hospitals with tick bites. Meaning they are already out, and hungry.
SO! Make sure you check yourself for ticks often over the course of the weekend, and when you get home. Check out this web site for prevention and treatment information. Tick Encounter
