[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1632779, member: 95733"] Just wanted to add was at my local public hunting land on standby for turkey this AM and there were 10 of us in the ranger office and 3 guys said they had contracted Lyme's disease in the last year from ticks while turkey hunting. Two while hunting in my home state one down south out of state. Not very comforting odds at 30% rate of contraction. The one guy's family MD took considerable convincing he had contracted Lyme's disease as he felt it wasn't prevalent enough in his area where he hunted to be even remotely possible to get it and he needed to basically demand his blood be drawn and tested. Sure enough a few days later he got the "call" that the disease that no way he could've contracted he in fact had. Thankfully caught it very early and a several rounds of antibiotics later and he was OK. [/QUOTE]
