Off to the woods tommorow will let you guys know how it turns out!
You don't get them that far north. The only time I ever got them before and even all that seriously was in VA just below DC about 50 miles. Here in NC, it's nothing to walk 10' into the woods and hit a nest of 100+. Ouch if you're not sensitive enough or paying enough attention to the fact they are crawling on you.

As far as Lyme goes, you really have to wait until you have the symptoms if you're an outdoors man. I have several members in my family who has come down with it and they are anything but outdoor people. I get tick bites about 4 to 8 a year. Some have gotten really nasty with itching and and what looks like a bullseye mark. I finally went in to please my mother for a blood test. All negative for tick born stuff. When I was speaking to my doc, I asked how is it feasible to come in at every tick bite? She agreed.
