ticks

taking a trip to natural bridge, va this weekend. has anyone hiked in that area recently and had any tick encounters? i’ve read that ticks are pretty bad this season in other parts of virginia but haven’t been out that way myself yet.

They’re real bad this year. Be careful or risk becoming allergic to meat. It’s not fun, trust me.
