Actually, the Northeast has a fairly substantial problem with deer ticks
- little guys about the size of a pinhead. They are hard to detect, but
do cause Lyme disease, which can really be quite nasty if not detected
and treated early. Although I don't believe that "Scouting-associated
Lyme Disease" is much of a problem, it wouldn't be a bad idea if Scouters
familiarized themselves with the bug.
