Frolicking is awesome, related subject, make sure you check your body for ticks after frolicking and if you find any go get tested for Lyme disease. It’s treatable if you catch it early.
In general, be aware of the type of ticks in your area as tick borne diseases are spreading geographically. People tend to frolic during nice weather which could also lead to increased exposure to mosquitos and their diseases too. Therefore, please be safe and use an insect repellent and do a thorough check after being in a tick habitat.
In addition to Lyme disease, there’s Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Ehrlichiosis, Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness, Alpha-gal Syndrome, Anaplasmosis, and Babesiosi are the ones I’m aware of in my area but there are more.
