Default Curiosity-deer ticks


..

ISTR that the ticks do not survive in dry conditions, so best advice is to
avoid the sort of damp areas where they do survive (typically damp
undergrowth). If you are walking in the country be careful in long bracken
(tuck your trousers into your socks!)

I'm sure I read that advice somewhere, but I might just have been dreaming
(and it might all be nonsense anyway).


You were not dreaming
