Being at ground-zero for Lyme disease, this question has been on my mind lately.
Does utilizing a tarp setup without a bug net, or with only a partial bug net, make you more likely to get a tick? I know that ticks don't jump, they effectively hitch a ride as a potential host animanl passes by. But I've also read that adult male ticks "quest", seeking out the best place to locate an animal host. Does that include actually locating and climbing on a sleeping hiker?
Thoughts, opinions, evidence?
