We have friends who live in the country about 45 mins north of us. Their dogs come in daily with tics on them. The dogs have had injections so the tics don't bother them.
Our friends have antibiotics (or whatever is needed, I don't recall) if they are bit by the tics.
It is not a great way to enjoy the outdoors.
I just got back from a 4 1/2 hr bike ride. I had to do a stop in the bush for a needed break. When I got home I was "looking myself over in the mirror". Not a pretty sight, but no tics, thank goodness.
