Natchez Trace Parkway

We've gone hiking out at the Natchez Trace Parkway several times.

Each time, we've come back with some ticks on us.

Before I started using Permethrin to ward off tick bites, I actually contracted Lyme Disease from a tick bite. That's a slight indication as to how prevalent ticks are in this part of Tennessee.

Here are some tips for the easiest ways to remove ticks from your body.

Here's how to tell if your dog has Lyme Disease from a tick bite.
