North American friends: tick season is here, the risk for Lymes will grow until peaking in May and then die down until late summer where it'll start growing again until peaking in October

the best defense against Lymes is preventing a bite! Aside from long pants, hats, all that good stuff, after having fun in the prairie or woodlands check everywhere that is warm and dark on your body- hairline, groin area, where cuffs and waistbands connect with skin, etc.
