oh my goodness, I'm so sorry about your friend! =/
I live in Northern NJ, which strangely enough even though we're "city" is a really bad area for ticks/Lyme disease. And people don't understand how much it freaks me out to go outside and stuff not wearing jeans (though I do have issues with overheating easily, so, usually if it's 95+ like it's been, I just wear long soccer socks) or stuff to protect myself because it can happen. I went to South Jersey a few weeks ago and we were outdoorsy and I had a tick on my arm and FREAKED OUT and I got home and all my online friends (and my friends from Jersey) were like, 'yeah, so?' Bah.
