[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 283193, member: 1722"] Marg- Deer ticks are fairly common in NY State, we account for something like 40% of the yearly Lyme disease infections in the US. I think the doctor is wise to err on the side of caution and treat them as probable tick bites. As for the chiggers... the bites are itchy but not that all out maddening itch brought on by chiggers. Also, there are no bites above her mid thigh... or right about my knee height which is the area of the body most seem to receive bites from ticks. I told husband to make sure she wears long pants and long sleeves plus socks and a hat when going to the state park. And use the bug spray as back-up. [/QUOTE]
