And I live on Seed Tick Road!! I hope I don't learn how it came by its name!

I guess if Mr Paisley can check out butterfly tatoos', he could check us women for ticks!!

I've wondered about how that road got its name too! I've passed it on my drives north. Funny!

Learned a lot! I’m a tick hater and thankfully, don’t seem to attract them. Type A blood!

Glad you liked it! I hope they come out with more research about the blood types and ticks - I'm feeling fairly skeptical about it...

I'm very grateful that New Zealand doesn't have much of a tick problem. Our native ticks mostly infest birds (since the only native mammals are a few bats and marine mammals). As a result, you don't need to worry about ticks when out in the bush. Another reason to come to New Zealand.

Coming to New Zealand is a bucket list item for us - and fewer ticks just makes it even better!
