I'm sure you guys have them in Oregon. We have them in California and the terrain and climate isn't much different then where you are. I work for the phone company; we've had two techs bit this year. One on the thumb and one on the stomach. I wish I could find those pics. They had a pic taken for each day. It is crazy how quickly the skin rots. You think that pic is bad, you should have seen the ones they provided at our safety meeting!
