We have wood ticks here. Real bad in the spring during turkey season. It's nothing to come back and have a half dozen crawling on one's self. Occasionally one get's stuck on.
The dogs get a yearly limes shot to help protect them along with Frontline. But they still find a way to get a couple big ole puffy full of blood ones occasionally. The one dog doesn't do good with the Frontline, he get's a rash, so he has to tough it out...
The deer tick is the nasty, hard to see and feel one. Wood ticks aren't as bad, but still a nuisance.
Be careful though, those deer ticks can mess you up real bad.
