My take on it is that you can't avoid life because of ticks.
Life is full of forests (though a little less so due to environmental destruction, LOL).
Unfortunately, I can't use insecticide, because of chemical sensitivities.
I try to remember to look for ticks every night in the shower (well, bathtub).
I live in a beautiful, forested area above a river, and I have a small parcel of river land that's heavily forested. That is what makes me happy, and I refuse to give it up.
If you're on a full dose of abx or antimicrobials, my experience is at least, that ticks don't attach.
My dog is on Doxy, and I have seen dead ticks on her, but no attachments.
