THERE'S A TICK ON ME!

[target64]

What should I do other than ?

Smack it with a hammer

I sprayed the property with bifenthrin last year and never found any ticks, spiders, ants, crickets or any other critters afterwards. Getting ready to shoot the property as soon as the winds die down.

Anyone ever hear the song "Wack it Off, Wack it Off"?

That's actually the first thing I thought of when I saw the title

Eat a steak. You will be fine.

The whole ounce of prevention, pound of cure thing..................pre-treat clothes with permethrin.

Our procedure has always been spray heavily the points of entry: ankles, beltline, arms, neckline, and head. When we return from the woods, we throw all our cloths into the tub until time to wash them. Recently (like a week ago), the OG pulled the cloths out of the tub and found 5 ticks, 2 still alive. I think we are going to change the procedure to spraying head to toe.

Straight to the washer then wash ASAP.

Have you called a doctor?

On second thought, if you dont know a competent doc, I think a Dentist might know. If you have one handy, that is.

I prefer some of his other titles such as Bang Bang LuLu, End of the Month, and My ALL time favorite "Was it You?" (John Valby on youtube. NSFW)

That only works with skeeters...or so I've been told

What about ether? The only rag I have is full of ether.

Does this smell like ether to you?

Wife is terrified of ticks........going to set this as the background pic on our computer before I go to bed tonight. A higher powered laser works well to make a tick move on if attached, then just pick it off.

Just heard of this tick now in Indiana

"Alpha-gal syndrome is a recently identified type of food allergy to red meat and other products made from mammals. In the United States, the condition is most often caused by a Lone Star tick bite. The bite transmits a sugar molecule called alpha-gal into the person's body. In some people, this triggers an immune system reaction that later produces mild to severe allergic reactions to red meat, such as beef, pork or lamb, or other mammal products."

Had one crawl up my arm as I was driving on US30 last night. Almost wrecked the damn truck.
