I can only imagine those are homeless dogs who get THAT bad. If I found an owner who let that happen, I'd lock their head in a box of ticks for a week.
It helped a lot in Fl, but yeah you still had to check your animals regularly.
They have insects down there that will carry away small children though. Snakes, Scorpions, Alligators ... nothing compared to the 97 degree days with 110% humidity though.
I'm surprised I just didn't kill myself.
I wouldn't last long there either. Mosquitoes eat me alive, and the humidity, yeah, no....

Sea, do you keep flea and tick prevention on your bunny?
You know, I've checked her for that, and I can't find a thing. I wanted to ask the vet first if it's safe. (I see they have protection made for rabbits, too.) We wanted her to get settled in first, and then we were going to take her in for a regular checkup anyway. I found a vet that specializes in rabbits, but we have to figure out how we're going to handle that. You can't catch her. I can't even do the "bunny burrito" method once I miss and she's on to me. I'm going to try a harness leash on her to get her into a carrier.
EDIT: I could probably trick her into the carrier with food, but once she's there at the vet, I don't want her leaping off the table. I suppose they know how to handle that, though.
One of our girls is at times a challenge to catch and I have to be really careful because she has claws and I cannot take a chance getting scratched.
Anway, I discovered the way that I have to pick her up when needed to carry her inside or put her in her carrier.
I have to stick on arm between her back paws and put my palm on her belly, then the other hand I have to "scruff" her neck. That leaves out of balance just enough she cannot get any of her paws extended enough to claw or fight.
You might be able to try that with Bunny, it is just a guess on my part though that it will work.

Well, I don't know. She really starts thrashing, and all I've read is how easy it is for their spines to break if they start panicking and twisting on you or if they're dropped from too high. But I do appreciate the suggestion. We'll have to see how it goes.
This is the kind of cat I am looking at for my niece. A Toyger.
Beautiful.
