I work in the forest industry in the south, therefore much tick exposure.
There are more ticks here year round than most places have in the warm
months. I am far healthier now that I keep bees than any other time in my
life.
If you are worried about lymes disease, just examine your self in the mirror
when you come in from the apiary. But most importantly remember;  "worry is
like a rocking chair--- it just goes back and forth".
