I'm from Germany. We had to remove the first ticks from the children as early as beginning of March after spending some time in the woods. I think this summer will be crazy…

I hope not. We had an explosion of them last spring, but by summer there were none to be found, it was strange. I spent most days out in the woods, but didn't find a single one.
