Although , back int the day, my own kids had hours of fun playing in piles of leaves in the Fall. However, with the explosive tick population happening over the last few years, I would caution parents to be aware of this problem. Ticks can carry Lyme Disease as well as other nasty illnesses. I have Lyme and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Yes, I have been bitten by ticks many times as I have been working in the garden. It is a shame to take away such a delighful scource of fun I know, but the reality is, ticks live in those leaves and are ready to pounce when they sense a blood meal on the horizon. Take care and stay safe everyone.
