The most ticks I found on my german shepherd last year in one day was 27.  This year the dog has had a 44 tick day, and just a few days ago the dog had a 93 tick day.  We roam the woods and the dog covers so much ground that she acts as a tick-magnet.

Hey, it isn't only Maine that's having a tick problem this year.

 

We in PA (at least SE PA) have always had ticks,  but it's like a plague this year.

 

In all my life, you usually only find one tick on you, and only occasionally, and later in the

year than this.  Every night, we're doing a 'tick check' on each other and the

children.  Every night we've found at least one tick, and on one night one boy

had 3 and on another night one had 2.  None had gotten embedded yet.

 

I'm guessing its from the mild winter, but I used to live in VA when I was small,

and even there I don't remember anything like this.
