Depending on where you are, it's now either snake season or tick season.

For some parts of the U.S., it's both.

Both creatures post particular problems with pets. And humans, too, if they get bit. And both are very active right now.

And RVers, who are out there camping in the woods and wilds and deserts and fields, could very easily come into contact with them. RVers with pets need to be particularly vigilant.

Pet Dangers: Ticks

A friend, who lives in West Michigan,  took his dog for their usual walk the other night, when they returned home, he found two ticks on him and seven ticks on the dog. 

On an RV trip to Florida, we stopped on a nice spring day at the I-75 rest area near Jellico, TN. I took our dog out of the RV for a short walk on the dog run. He came back with three ticks. In just 10 minutes!
