I've been fortunate here in southern Colorado. I've been here 10 years and have never seen a tick of any kind and spend a lot of time in meadows and brushlots. My brother in Binghamton contracted Lyme disease several years ago, took antibiotics, and hasn't had any recurring symptoms. My youngest daughter contracted Lyme disease just recently and remembers seeing a small thing drop off of her. She thought she was having a stroke, as half her face became numb and was in significant pain all over. She's been taking antibiotics for a few weeks and feels much better. I hope it stays that way. I remember walking with my son in a field in Virginia many years ago and pulled 18 (not deer) ticks off of him after our stroll. I don't get why I haven't seen any in Colorado. I have a friend in Wyoming that complains of ticks at similar altitude and climate. Why not here? I also lived in upstate NY playing & working outside constantly for 30 years. I don't remember it being an issue. Was it an issue then and I didn't notice? I don't remember my parents ever pulling ticks off of me.
