Excellent article on ticks, and new approaches to controlling them and the diseases they spread. However, the sidebar on how to avoid them omitted a much more effective way to handle exposed clothing. Before washing, throw it in the dryer on high for at least 10 minutes. The clothes will get a lot hotter, and the dryness is better at killing ticks (or anything else).
