[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 48062, member: 439"] it's my understanding that it's only deer ticks that carry lyme, but wood ticks can carry Rocky Mt. spotted fever in certain areas - and they can also give you an infection at the site of their bite. I used to take those elastic wrist sweat bands and spray them with DEET, then put those on the OUTSIDE of my socks, with my pant legs tucked into the socks. It may seem like overkill, but it really did help. I also gave my boys their "tick haircuts" every summer (a buzz with the old #3 comb). I am a mosquito magnet and have yet to find anything that will totally keep them off of me. And I think any chigger in a five mile radius can find me. [/QUOTE]
