glen, i just went to hawaii dept of health site. it stated that although we have a big tick problem in the dryer areas, it is the brown dog tick. this tick does NOT carry the lyme disease. it stated that directly there is none (lyme) in the state, as that is carried by the deer tick. (we do have deer on maui,alot, but apparently they came without the tics)
