May I suggest that if you and 3 friends decide to go walking in the woods on a fine summer day (which is a wonderful idea),
especially if the area is heavily wooded and the trail narrow (as noted below),
that you use some bug spray before heading out...
and STILL examine yourself closely for ticks when you get done. A total of 6 ticks were found on our party of 4. Some of these after a thorough showering.
A quick google search will lead you down a trail of lots of pictures, cautions, and what to monitor yourself for. Bummer. This was a nice trail but we won't be heading back there anytime soon.
Awful! They’re so dangerous and easy to miss.
