Anyone else in the Northeastern US like I am? If you are, it appears that it's going to be a bad year for ticks.

I've been cooped up all Winter and Spring is finally here and I just found my second tick of the year. Since I hate going to the doctor I have to be very careful not to let them bite me and if they do to remove them right away before transmission of Lyme's disease can take place. One symptom of Lyme's disease is a bulls-eye shaped rash and if one appears I will have to go to the doctor and get treated before I develop the awful symptoms of Lyme's disease.

I was just out in front of my house clearing some leaves off the crocuses. That's not a spot I'd expect to find ticks and I was only out there for a few minutes. Now that I found one today I will probably have that paranoid feeling that something is crawling on me for the next few hours.
