Ticks

This photo was taken at Fall Creek Falls State Park in Pikeville, TN. Beware of ticks at Fall Creek Falls. My dog and I both had ticks when we got back. Even though i had treated my clothes with Permethrin, and sprayed myself with 20% piccardin, the ticks managed to get embedded in my skin where clothes were covering my skin (top of thighs, buttocks), and I had to nearly go to my doctor’s to pry off these ticks. It was my first time dealing with ticks.
