Where are you most likely to pick up a tick?
When you ask people about ticks, they typically recount efforts to protect themselves from them when they are out in the woods or camping. Is this the best approach? Where are you most likely to pick up a tick?
- At home or abroad
The startling truth to the answer of where you are most likely to pick up a tick is on your own property. Most people assume in the woods or elsewhere because it is easier to imagine a tick waiting for you in the ferns along a trail.
Also, there is a higher percentage of tick occurrences to visits out in the woods. But, when you factor in the number of times you are exposed to high tick traffic areas in your own yard, it will make more sense that the total exposure (number of opportunities multiplied by the number of possible areas of exposure) is greater in your own yard.
