Something is up.
Either everyone is suddenly talking about it, where they didn’t before, or there’s a veritable plague of Ticks upon the land.
It’s been a frequent topic amongst friends and acquaintances of mine around here, across the country and even in the US. It’s clearly a more common than usual observation amongst UKB posters, too.
Lack of long enough cold/subzero temperatures last winter? Shift in pesticide habits? Explosion/collapse in hedgehog (/a.n.other tick bearing mammal) population?
