Is the tick level, or is it not, a generally good measure of the deer density?

[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1192948, member: 5412"] I'm pretty sure it was in for more than 24 hours. It was one of the little seed ticks, which according to the info you posted is just a baby. I was at the farm, and picked off several on the way home, but later the next morning, found one on the back of my leg where I couldn't see it. One thing I did take note of in the info you posted from OSU was to save any ticks that get burrowed in for two weeks. I have an old pill bottle saved for that now. Probably keep it in the freezer if another gets attached. About a week later, at work In the period of an hour, I got so hot that my clothes were soaked, then the chills set in. I had on two heavy jackets, and had to go outside in the direct sun where I still shook like a leaf in the wind. They called my wife, as I couldn't drive, and she took me to Stillwater ER. They got me in real quick, and recognized the symptoms, taking blood to test and putting in an IV with antibiotics. About 3 hours later, I was able to walk out of there. Its been awhile, but If I remember right, they said that in the blood test there are 5 markers that point to RMSF. I had 4. The 5th doesn't show up until later stages? [/QUOTE]
