[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I think beauty and fashion is the wrong forum for your question. Seems like everyone around here hates the outdoors. I’ve hiked plenty of times in maine and never had an issue with swarms of mosquitoes and ticks. [b]News flash, we’ve got plenty of ticks in this area.   [/b]I think your outfit is fine if that's what you’re comfortable wearing and that’s your style. I would probably go a little more casual on the top though and pick something that is comfortable for sweating in.[/quote]

We went walking with our white dog in the Triadelphia area of MD one fall. Narrow trail, undergrowth, next to a reservoir. At the end of it my husband had a tick bite on his belly and my dog was covered with more than a dozen ticks. Thank goodness he's white and I could see the ticks! I tried to pick them off before we got into the car, but found others when we arrived home - I didn't let him in the house, I picked them off on the porch. My husband found the tick when he was showering that evening and contacted his doctor the next day to get a course of antibiotics.

It was a nightmare I never want to repeat again. I am aware that there are fewer ticks on certain trails, but I don't even want to try unless it's the dead of winter. I come from Europe where I spent my childhood hiking in the Alps, and we never had ticks, so this is not hate for the outdoors, but horror at ticks.

I would not attend this wedding, OP, unless the hosts know the area extremely well and can guarantee that it's not a particularly tick-prone area. But certainly no camping.[/quote]
