Needed to report that I learned recently that scientists are working on a chemical substance that will get ticks to glow, not only in the dark but also during the daytime, and thus help warn everyone of their presence. I like the idea - helps to be able to see the darn things.

Good question - research will need to be done. They will probably need to test the quantity of glow chemicals needed to be able to see them in bitten ones. I for one would like to see a lowish glow quantity, so as not to be readily outed wherever we go.

MannaMe, this is annual research, with the next report probably coming out on April 1, 2018.
