Ticks on Thunder Knob- Diablo Lake

[JasonG]

I never thought I had to worry around Diablo Lake (esp. in March!), but I pulled one out of our two year old on Saturday. It had burrowed in a bit, and our son was NOT happy to have it pulled out. Just thought others might want to know if you are taking kids up this trail (or others in the area) in the near future.

Same at Mt. Erie, so far friends got tick bit in January and Feb this year! One friend took his shirt off to find two dug in and two more crawling.

I found 4 on me at Mt. Erie, especially hiking in from the bottom! That explains the route "Dances with Ticks"!!! Never had a problem up top at Summit Wall or Powerline, etc.

I started wearing a dog collar around my ankle. In the field a lot, sometimes area's normal people stay out of.

 

It just a white flea and tick collar. Only found one tick on me since then and it was on my shoulder. This includes stays in draws / swamps / bog's all the fun places.
