Ticks and Lyme Disease seem to be on everyone's radar. One club member was recently bitten by one on the Cheakamus Canyon Trail. The bug hid itself underneath the wrist watch.
Here's how to identify, remove, save, and send these dangerous little critters in for testing.
I had an encounter near Pemberton with one too. I felt the bite and shook the tick off my neck. Now in my first aid kit I am carrying a little tool to pull a tick out. I bought it in an outdoor/hunting store. Thanks Siegfried for reminder.
It looks as I can not update my comment above. I planned to say “I am carrying a little tool”.
Cheers,
