Not sure the best place for this thread, but here kinda makes sense. I was at the barbershop the other day. The old fashioned kind where some folks come in or stick around just for the conversation.
Couple of old timers were in there rambling about anything and everything and the discussion moved to wild hogs, then to fire ants, then to mosquitoes and diseases they can carry these days. Lyme disease got brought up and one of the guys wondered aloud if the fireants had done something to the tick population.
Everyone agreed that they don't get ticks now like they did a few decades ago. Many of us couldn't remember the last time we had a tick.
So do ticks just not like old folks? Do old folks dress different? Have we learned better? My daughter has a dog that has gotten into ticks before, but people wise everyone seems to stay clear.
Anyone else seeing this or can shed some light on it?
