A reader tells TLS he and his family walked along the trails in Riverwood Park in Toms River today, and came home covered in ticks.
“Without exaggeration, between all of us, we had nearly 50 ticks,” he said.

Thanks for the information 👍 because usually I only get a tick when I’m walking through waist high brush and that’s just one tick.
By me though when I spray heavily with OFF (the original sprayer one not the small shpritz one) on my arms, hands, legs, ears, forehead (with eyes closed) I can BH walk through any big brush too. So, I hope that’ll work for everyone even on this trail too.
Unless, am I mistaken and they already had sprayed completely?
I suggest Tom’s River should hire a crop duster & spray the foliage with Agent Orange.
No foliage=No ticks
No foliage = No Park. You can walk on the sidewalk if you prefer. 😉
No foliage and your children and grandchildren seven generations beyond thanks to agent orange. Talk to any Viet Nam vet about it. If you’re joking…not funny.
Sorry…forgot to say the problems are physical and neurological issues. Many cancers.
My backyard is to those woods, I went there a few Tim’s and also got ticks, but when I sent it to the lab it was always dog ticks which don’t have Lyme in them, only dear ticks have the Lyme disease.
FYI #1 – Picardin 20% is best spray to use against tics…..
FYI #2 – Even sitting on a mowed lawn can draw tics as evidenced by my own daughter and neighbors.
FYI #3 – if you son or daugther came home from camp or trips etc and chas veshalom developed psychological problems or flu like symptoms, you would be smart to look into Lyme.
FYI #4 – the western blot test done in doctors office has about a 50% false negative (i.e. even in negative, it can be positive)
May Hashem protect us all…..
oy im sorry that your trip had to end like that. tiks are noooo fun!
which dept in that township is responsible for public health? public places? public health in public places?
Same happened to my family!!
Had the same experience at Riverwood. Went for a ten minute walk. Stayed on the path. There were a ton of tiny seed ticks. Crawling all over us.
lyme is very easy to diagnose but most doctors arent enough educated in bp there is practice thats called phc medical they are very good in it may hashem protect all of us
I know a few people who were covered in ticks after walking around lake Shenandoah. You may want to be careful around there as well
Every family should get a tick pack from life for lyme
It has a spray in it that goes on clothes
And stays thru washes and ticks stay away !
Also amazing skin sprays etc a must for every home !!
And yes dog ticks don’t carry lyme but they carry other diseases as do every type of tick
