My wife got a bulletin from the CDC at her office this past march. Since we had such a mild winter, with little freezing weather the ticks are rampant. Well I never had a tick on me, pulled them off the cats, but I found one on myself yesterday! I cut and weed wacked my lawn, must be were I got it, So just remember to check for ticks, I know a neighbor who has/had lyme disease, It's not good. But at least she is still here. J

I had a tick on April 15th, I paid him off, now he wants more, what do I do now??

I had a case of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever from ticks a couple years ago. RMSF is similar to Lyme disease. Once the damage is done, it isn't reversible.

wow that's a real thing?!!

My mother used to always tell us kids to watch out for ticks or we'd get rocky mountain spotted fever.

Ha -

Sorry you got it of course - but just funny in that I never really thought of it as something real.

Be a heck of a guy, and check the neighbor lady for ticks often. Just like Brad Paisley advises.

They are bad here in SW Michigan. I bring them in seems like every time I walk in the fields or run the dogs. Found two crawling on me the other night. Nasty little buggers!

Five year old grandson had one on him about a month ago. He and his brother and a cousin walk between their Dads' place up to our place through either the fields or on a road I bulldozed through the woods. Now we check them all whenever they show up.

Cats have ticks all the time.

They're bad around here, we pull them off the cats and dogs about every day, and we find them on us too. Had one underneath the back of my shoulder that I missed back in March, was in there pretty good, the doc said it was a female deer tick. The anti-Lyme treatment du jour is one big dose of antibiotics, he gave me a script for that, made it refillable 5x - said "you're going to need it this year..."

Try eating garlic. It does help repel bugs and ticks.

You can feed it to your animals, too. Use just a little at first, then gradually increase until they get used to it.

I had the Rocky Mountain Spotted a few years back. Wanted to die for 27 days. Each day was a different pain. Got it while moving cattle at 9000' elev. Now that is a true Rocky Mtn tick.

Exactly ! I swallow a raw clove chopped and eaten every morning. Never had an embedded tick on me and I'm in the middle of tick country, eastern CT.

I had a tick but I got rid of him and hired a lawyer instead.

Just a reminder.
