The “not-so-good” info from the east coast as a generality is that nymphal deer ticks are about 35% infected with lyme, and adults are around 50% infected. Of course these are all subject to change and don’t forget; ticks can pass on other diseases. I've heard from a number of islanders who have had ticks on their bodies this spring. Use appropriate protection when in the outdoors and stay well.
News on the Net's, Editor and CEO, Joe Moore, completed a walk and video of a section of the eastern shoreline on May 2nd. It gives Lake Michigan property owners concerned with the high water situation, a good look from the water. He hiked in waders from Gracie Martin's Hill north to just below Point LaPar. The video is posted on News on the Net. Thank you for your efforts, Joe!
