US Open; Spectators and players: please wear DEET.

That tall grass has tens of millions of ticks, and in Wisconsin you do not want to be bitten by a tick.

Good idea to check yourself for ticks at the end of the day.

Is there a state where you do want to be bitten by a tick?

Mental state...

Yes. Little nymph ticks carrying Lyme.

Also check out Wondercide

Deep Woods Off is my cologne of choice when I play in Southern Wisconsin. Excellent suggestion. Nobody needs to have to deal with a Jimmy Walker-esque Lyme disease situation.

Born and raised, lived over 50 years here. Played in forests, swamps, and all points in between. Never had a tick in any way shape or form...

Welcome to Wisconsin. Ignore the non-native trolls...

I think I'll skip Wisconsin, which I had to spell check. Looks like a great course, though.

I don't think his warning of ticks in tall grass was in any way/shape/form an attempt to troll or insult your home state lmao.

Nor was my response an attempt to troll or insult those nice enough to visit this area for the first time. Simply provide first hand knowledge of the area from someone who lived here all his life. Ticks in a prairie setting with few trees? LMFAO...

Yeah you don't want to mess with Lyme. One of my bestfriend's dad got it and I never realized just how serious it was until then. And just like aids you got it for good

CD and McCann will most likely not be getting a gig for Wisconsin board of tourism spokesman.

I think there are ticks anywhere there are deer. Deer usually like a golf course for a plethora of reasons.

You would fit right in there

Without getting into a debate on the finer points of tick biology, suffice it to say that ticks don't only live in the woods (which I am sure you know). Anywhere with large areas of tall grass will have an increased likelihood of ticks. Of course, not as much as a woodland area with more shade/moisture but still likely a good idea to throw on some insect repellant, think that was all OP was trying to point out. Lyme disease is not worth being careless because one person has been lucky enough to never encounter a tick.

Even this chart doesn't spell 'angle' correctly (NC). (B'Dum-Ching!1)

Getting bit by one tick is bad enough, imagine getting bit by tens of millions at once...

it's getting past my bed time

My first hand experience with my only visit to Wisconsin a few years back on a work trip ended with a tick on the stomach having a nice overnight feast. Luckily no Lyme but I'm 1/1 for getting a tick in WI.

Never had one in CT where I grew up. See how silly that sounds?

Why aren't the players up in arms about this?!

This could be 2017's Zika all over again. Rory and Jason Day will pull out. Put money on it!

Remember what they say, "it's better to be ticked off than ticked on."

Got bit by a tick once, no regerts.

Oh what the heck a few facts

Powassan is even worse than Lyme disease, and causes tick-Borne encephalitis.

I got bit by a deer tick once and the wound didn't heal completely for about 8 months.

Spent a night with a girl from UW-Parkside once in college, I felt the need to check for ticks after that.

I've lived in Michigan for 48 years, and never had a tick on me the entire time.. Until this year, and found TWO within a month's time. Found them fast enough where neither bit me, but did find one on my head, at which point my wife called me a "tick head" for a couple of weeks. lol

Takes me back to my Scout days. I learned very early I could rough it for 2 days max.

Update: I suddenly have the motivation to mow the backyard.

Yeah same here in WNY. Never seen a tick in my entire life and suddenly my dog had two ticks a couple years ago. Initial Lyme test was negative, but recheck done months later was positive. Fortunately caught and treated it early, but also dogs have much more natural resistance to Lyme than humans. Vet said tick infestation is way up in the last several years and warned me about getting bit because Lyme is way serious for humans if not caught and treated early.

Cases of Lyme disease have tripled since the 1990s, and cases have turned up all across the US (although 95 percent of cases in 2015 occurred in twelve Northeastern states plus Wisconsin and Minnesota). https://www.rodalesorganiclife.com/wellbeing/2017-bad-year-for-lyme-disease-how-to-avoid-ticks
