Whenever I read BWCA trip reports and see photos of folks in shorts and t-shirts I question if they are aware of the dangers of ticks and their unique infections. Good article! Glad to see the positive news published. Never have I found a tick on me in the 9 yrs I've been canoeing in the BWCA. Always retreat my socks--heels and upwards, pants and LS shirts, before a trip. I even spray outside of my hat & baseball cap to discourage the skeeters too.
