And what can we do to help with that?

I never really understood how awful ticks were until I was bitten myself.

And then I happened to be camping with my partner and our dog and she's a big Great Dane and then she had all these ticks on her that I had to try and remove.

Oh, my gosh.

It was amazing actually.

It's always nice to live the experience to understand a bit about ticks.

But having someone who does a lot of camping, it's quite bizarre to all of a sudden have ticks.

yeah okay coming into summertime and you're traveling and going away going to friends houses whatever sort of situation what are your must-haves for a first aid kit or how to prevent bites and stings going

That's fair.
