Your husband doesn't have a long lost sister does he?
One of the last more-than-mild, but not bad-requiring-medical attention cases
of PI I got was from one of two caches -- one cache along the riverfront in
St. Charles. *I* stayed on the path and they brought the cache to me to sign.
The same day we did another one that looked like it was thru a questionable
area and I even stayed in the car.. two days later.. Itchy-scratchy. The
only thing I can think of is that the micros were hidden behind a pi vine and
the oil made it's way to me via the rest of the fam.
I've avoided getting "close" to caches where someone has posted a pi alert or
edited their log to say they got the itch a couple of days later. I like this
geocaching thing -- but you can only itch just so much. I figure caching by
proxy is still caching ... sorta... Meanwhile, I normally travel with the
$10.00 bottle of Tecnu in my trunk.

Oh yeah the ticks seem to be worse, IMHO. And poison ivy? My DH has gotten
it twice so far (really bad the first time) so he isn't really interested in
going out with me anymore. Thing is, we both can ID it, but it seems to sneak
up on him.
One of the I-55 caches (hmm, that reminds me I need to log them) is in a rest
area. I was the one that tramped thru the woods, he stayed on the parking lot.
HE is the one that got the ticks, not me. Hence my crack about getting ticks
on or off asphalt. Luckily they were only on his clothes, hadn't done any
damage yet.
I've lived in MO most of my life, and haven't really had much of a problem.
Maybe I just don't taste as good as some of y'all. <G>
