re: #158 Aceofwhat?

They were swarming in mid-Ohio last weekend when we were on vaca. There was more than one hill that we didn’t walk because the 8th tick you flick off your leg is enough…

the usual tick you find in NM is the Santa Fe Blue…they can be quite large, up to and over 250lbs and swift, known to overtake and devour a Ford Explorer…but they are rare and tourists should in no way be alarmed or defensive at a range of over 500yds
