Indeed. Onondaga Lake Park has signs up about it. The county did a survey of the area and found there to be a deer tick every three square feet of the park. I've had 2 of them on me just from my own back yard. Two of my neighbors have been diagnosed with Lyme disease. I saw the bull's eye one neighbor's arm, the other guy's doctor found a bull's eye on his scalp.
