[Namron] Tick questions for Gwyneth

[Jim L Couch]

I am still finding ticks on my person. I am so bummed, discouraged, 
saddened, or whatever you want to call it by finding these daily. So far, I 
havent seen anymore on my kids and this makes me wonder if they are not in 
my car. I am in my car alot more than my kids are. I've washed all the 
bedding and clothing we took that weekend. I read this morning that lyme is 
very rare, and I imagine Rocky Mountain is too (girlfriends son had that 
last year), but I am just getting sick of finding these on me.
