As I mentioned in my 7/1 post on the subject of the White Ibis, my husband 
picked up loads of deer and dog ticks while we were hiking about 
Manassas.  I just pulled yet another deer tick off him this morning, a very 
engorged and bizarre-looking one at that!  The thing I find interesting is, 
he was wearing long pants and I was wearing shorts.  Perhaps the ticks 
could grab onto his pants easier than they could grab onto my legs?  So 
far, I haven't found a tick on me.  OTOH, my husband is pretty sweet, so 
maybe they think he tastes better?  ;-)
