Maryland isn't official and still might not happen but I doubt it.

I did research on chiggers and ticks. I now have a good understanding on what to do which is cool. I now see that just wearing gators won't work because they are so small it wouldn't be very hard to climb intween them. Looks like I will be tucking my pants in my socks from now on and wearing lots of DEET <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Research also gave me some good advice on what to do on my own property. I look at my backyard now and if this was maryland...I would be screwed :P
