Unfortunately ticks in Tuftonboro and I assume elsewhere are a signifigant problem. In my opinion since I have been living in Tuftonboro for over 40 years, this year as well as the last 39 have been tick city, especially in the spring.

The ticks I assume you are finding are the common wood tick. They do not transmit lime disease, at least that is what I have been lead to believe. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong on this.

Check yourself often when you are out and about and use a quality bug spray such as cutters.
