Wonderful visit but ticks are a hidden danger
Assateague Island National Seashore的点评
点评：We loved our spontaneous visit at the time BUT we had a terrible time with ticks in the days following.
We were only in the park a few hours. We had our dog with us and just planned to drive through with a few quick stops. We were in a parking lot by a trailhead when a number of horses surprised us and we moved to the short grass at the edge of the parking lot. We weren’t in the trees or in high grass. Over the next few days we found ticks on both of us and our dog. An expert identified them as Lone Star ticks. Turns out they’re very active in spring and they’re very aggressive. We’re typically very careful to take precautions to avoid bug bites but after a lifetime of visiting Ocean City it never occurred to us that such a quick stop in a parking lot could result in such a serious situation.
Even on the briefest visits you need to be prepared with repellent and check yourself thoroughly and repeatedly for days following your visit. I can’t imagine how campers who are staying in the park for days manage it. Tick-bourne illnesses can be serious so we have to be on the lookout for symptoms over the next few months. Enjoy your visit to this wonderful park but be aware of this hidden danger.

翻译：我们当时很喜欢这次说走就走的旅行，但接下来的几天却被蜱虫折磨得够呛。
我们只在公园待了几个小时。我们带着狗，原本计划开车路过，顺便停几次车。当时我们停在步道起点附近的停车场，突然一群马出现，吓了我们一跳，我们赶紧挪到停车场边缘的短草丛里。我们当时既不在树上，也不在高草丛里。接下来的几天，我们和狗身上都发现了蜱虫。专家鉴定后发现是孤星蜱。原来它们在春天非常活跃，而且攻击性很强。我们平时很注意防虫，但去过海洋城这么多年，却从来没想过在停车场短暂停留一下会造成这么严重的后果。
即使是短暂的游览，也需要准备好驱虫剂，并在游览后的几天里反复仔细检查身上是否有蜱虫。我真不敢想象那些在公园里待上好几天的露营者是怎么做到的。蜱虫传播的疾病可能很严重，因此在接下来的几个月里，我们必须密切关注相关症状。祝您在这个美丽的公园游览愉快，但同时也要注意这种潜在的危险。
