RE: [cayugabirds-l] Deer ticks
Their purpose is to control human beings by spreading the microbes that harm them! I take it back, actually it is the disease spreading spirochetes that control the ticks. Probably it is not good for the ticks too when the spirochetes are growing in them as they will be demanding nutrition from the ticks. So don't blame the poor ticks. They are as helpless as we are!.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Deer ticks
Last night I walked the Marsh Trail at Binghamton University and there was a student dragging a 30 inch square white cloth on the ground. I inquired. She was collecting tics - and had collected about 10. As the cloth is dragged across the ground, they grab on. She flips the cloth over and there they were.
