We took our 1 year old lab on a woods walk today. We avoid the woods as much as possible because the ticks are just horrible but my son was at soccer and I walked the quarter mile loop behind the school.
We came out and not even 1 minute later I saw multiple ticks crawling on her. Eventually- I discovered 9 on her and 2 on me.
Now she has one embedded in a very tricky spot.
These were all SUPER tiny. Did we happen to walk through a nest?
I’m finding myself so hesitant to do more enjoyable walks with her or go to any of the conservation areas that people love to walk because of this issue.
I don’t know how to feel happy or comfortable going to these places knowing we are getting covered
