While at Rocky Ford a couple of weeks ago I noticed a couple ticks on my
sleeve. Later at home I found one who had nestled into a spot on my scalp.
After removing it ( he didn't like soapy water) I watched the site with
trepidation and a little anxiety looking for the tell-tale red ring of
Lyme's disease. (Trying to look at the back of your head is almost like
developing some exotic yoga-like position.) No symptoms or problems
noticed.
We think of flyfishing as a quiet sport sharing nature and our environment,
but who or what is out there with us? From ticks, mosquitoes,deerflies,
snakes, bears or ... what other critters have given you love bites and what
have you used to prevent or treat them?
