Event discussion
Make sure you check yourselves for ticks - as some of you know, I had (at least) two of the small deer ticks (not the big dog or wood ticks) on me after we stopped at the Gropius House. As someone who had a form of Lyme disease that can be fatal, I am especially concerned.
When I got home, I put my clothes in the wash and took a shower - the ticks don't latch onto the skin for up to 12 hours, so if you shower, you are bound to wash them away.
Wishing you all the best of health,
Rob
