HI PEOPLES? BE REALLY CAREFUL about hunting since the ticks are out in FORCE? Hopefully Y'ALL will have a way to check from top to bottom for those dangerous pests> Our buddy Nemophlist (spelling) came back from an outing and had one embedded somewhere on His NECK. Had to scoot to the doctor to get it removed. Bad position and HE was not able to get to the creature in spite of the tools that HE had! Hopefully WON'T be any problems from this. My point is to CHECK CAREFULLY and don't be ashamed to go to the professional medical people to take care of a tick if You have a problem trying to remove it. BLESSED BE! BATMAN

yup. my son and his family live in the woods and are home schooled to boot so they play outside during the day when on school work break. One of the 5 kids get a tick on them almost everyday. Mom does the strip search on the little ones and the older ones know to check them selves at the end of the day. This year has been one of the worst for wood ticks.

Seems top be a wide spread situation. I found over 20 on me opening weekend of bow season. Most were seed ticks, but they still bite and can cause issues. Good reminder Batman, keep yourselves checked daily, clean bites as well as possible.

I was out hunting this morning and felt a pinch on the front of my neck. I felt the area with my finger and I could feel something small was there. I was sure it was a tick. When I got home around 11:00am I checked the area out with a mirror and sure enough it was a tick and he went for my jugular. "lol" I tried to remove it with a tick twister and tweezers but wasn't successful. The tick must of been the Arnold Schwarzenegger of ticks. "lol" I didn't want to break the tick off leaving the head in me so I went to my doctors and she dug the little bugger out. My doctor told me that a tick has to be in you 36 hours or longer to transmit lymes disease, she even showed me on the office computer where it said that. So be careful out there.

Handy removal tool. Amazon

Believe your doctors and their little computers At Your Own Peril. It doesn't take 36 or 48 hours for a tick to infect you and they can inflict indescribable suffering that can last for years... and can kill you... and/or make you wish they would. There is too much the average health care professional doesn't know, and there's much truth regarding Lyme and its co-infections that they refuse to acknowledge. They're puppets and their puppet masters have severe conflicts of interest and priorities unrelated to our health. They don't care... and what's going on is criminal.

If you spend time afield where ticks call home, study them and Lyme until you're absolutely sick of it... then buckle down, dig deeper, and study some more.

That tick tool works good on the big ones not so great on the little ones

Jeff thanks for the warning. I was just repeating what my doctor said. I don't blindly believe anyone and I do my own research also.

My former partner Kristina is a specialist in Lyme and other tick-borne diseases, and she would echo what Jeff just related. Recent research keeps moving the time window smaller and smaller; it seems that the bite alone is almost enough to do harm, from what they know now. The fact that a bite itches like crazy for weeks suggests that there's some kind of chemical transfer going on!

I get at least 5-6 ticks a year, and I remove them ASAP and douse the bite area with tea tree oil. If I think they've been on for 12 hr. or more, I go with antibiotics--reluctantly.

All tic's carry diseases. Realize that.

Plum Island we can thank for the scientists there that let tics out to study war fare on us.

BTW the way Jeff I haven't given up on the theory that I have lymes either. When i go down to University of Pa next week to a specialist in CIPD I am going to see if he can hook me up with a Dr. to look into this and see what he thinks?

I use Tea tree oil its great stuff.

I got bite in the face the other day by what? I don't know it must of happened over night? I have a spot about the size of a nickle. I don't know what to do with it yet.

One of the contractors I'm inspecting had a 35 year old get bit on the back of his neck/head area in a blood stream. He was dead in 18 days autopsy revealed the Lyme disease went straight to his brain. This is the second time I've heard of this.

They said there wasn't any evidence of Lymes in my brain when they checked also. I don't trust it wondering if in tissues.

Me careful with Jeff he can send you stuff to read that can cause you to be a hypochondriac? LOL

Just kidding Jeff it was great information.

I live on the coast in va & last year ticks were to a minimum. I did get r.m.s.f from a tick in 2001 here it's the sickest iv ever been except for my hart attack

Wear under tight long under ware and spray up to keep them off you also.

Man I hate them little SOB's. TV weatherman is saying we've got a real good frost coming,I'm hoping it'll get rid of a lot of them, but I've already treated most of my hunting clothes and I'll still have my friend ,Mr. Permethrin with me.

I echo Jeff D. I had one attached to my neck last spring, woke up in bed the next morning after a hunt and it was stuck on. NOt deep, it came right off. I watched it turn from a mosquito bite like spot to a red ring and faint bullseye in two days. It was inside the field of my radiation treatments at the time. Maybe that reduced my immunity, I don't know, but I went immediately to the urgent care after seeing the bull. Got antibiotics, and it went away. No Lyme disease, but I think it had started. Don't take any chances, and don't believe the tick has to be on for 24 hrs to infect you with it or any other bug they carry. The urgent care nurse said they are seeing it from bites that are only an hour old now.

My son went through,and is still suffering from the effects of lyme disease. It makes me want to stay out of the woods after seeing what he is going through.I have been ticked a dozen times or so over the last five years no matter how i try to prevent it. Checked negative, but my neighbor says you can check negative ,and still have the disease.I have hunted small game with Beagle dogs from the middle 1960,s here in western Pa. ,and never had the tick problem. Were did they come from and when?

Warm here almost all season long. We don’t have ticks that bad but they are still around- permethrin works like a magic trick. I treat my clothing and boots. It’s inexpensive and effective. Also I have noticed while hunting that mosquitoes WILL NOT land on clothing treated with permethrin. And that makes it even better- Now- some of you FKA’s will cry about permethrin being poison. Yes, it is, but right now I think it’s the lesser of the two evils. I’ve seen what Lymes can do and I DO NOT WANT IT.

"Were did they come from and when?" Cat will tell you they came from Plum Island, planted by the US government as an experiment. Could be! I wouldn't put it past them. The govt. supposedly released plutonium waste products from Hanford nuclear reservation into the Columbia River in the 40s/50/ to see how it impacted things downstream. I believe they actually did that. Now it resides in downriver sediments, to be sucked up by sturgeon and fish eating humans. Corps of Engineering channel deepening and maintenance for shipping lanes disrupts that sediment, causing fish to be further contaminated, (also with pcbs from hydropower operations where Fed agencies dumped transformers into reservoir forebays, and dioxin from Camas paper mills too). (Just a side note -sorry OP to raid the thread). Back to the tick discussion, carry on!

I have heard peppermint oil works great. I keep it in my vehicle, but fortunately have not had to use it this year. Just do not get it in your eyes.

Ok here's a case in point a new tic strand and a bad one from what I herd was reported in New Hampshire that is now tracing in the lower states. OK here me out Draw a line across from New Hampshire on the map, (any Map) to Plum Island and you tell me know the evil things that have been done there over the years in the Government testing facility.

They put a tic on a bird and birdy boy flys to the west and it won't be long till the tic falls off and if the bird don't eat the tic then infestation starts.

Think its Sci Fi? Well I don't! Not at all! Hitlers scientists were given pardons when US brought them in to Plum Island to keep it going what Hitler started and was testing in their labs. Its a known fact all the things that were done in Nam that our Government created and used on our boys and the enemy. They even controlled weather so you can't put it past anything the swamp rats do, done and continue to do to us.

Think about it like this maybe I watch to much ancient aliens, history channel, Glen beck and or whatever else?

This and these tics are all driven by power to control the people like us and generate big business from us getting sick. If i wasn't a cash cow i might not think about things like this.

If this country were to stop sickness the country would collapse and be bankrupt.

How do we protect ourselves and even that is marginal. Sprays and cover up or don't go out.

For those of you who never got Lymes you better Thank God or praise your lucky stars because it terrible.

Now with that said there's all sorts of Autoimmune diseases that come from things like this we can get so you think its not the Government driving the economy try having a more vivid imagination and be a free thinker and not a stinker.

Our parents and their parents did not have these types of disease when they grew up or the Autoimmune issues many of us are getting. There's to much in common that's happening around us to at least not be open to what i am saying and thinking cats just an old cook and a real pain in the butt?

Just saying.

West Nile you think that was from a mosquito that flew from the Nile in Egypt? I don't it was created in a lab somewhere and released on us.

Bird flew? From europe? I doubt it but would bet from Plum Island. The freaks washing up on shore yup plum Island.

In the bronze age Atlantis was supposed to have had all sorts of freaks. What was Hitler doing same thing. Hitlers scientists came to US under pardon for what reason? To continue the work the evil generated in Hitlers labs the US continued it.

I'm not unpatriotic I'm just saying we all should be aware whats being done and is being tested on us. This is not a rant just a call to awareness.

They said I got what I have from a Virus yeah what virus and from where oh we don't know? Mega bucks are being generated from my illness that could even be from a tic? Don't know all yet. I just bet this that I have has now reached over $400,000.00 treating it as they are so that's generating a lot for a lot of people now isn't it.

Government makes us sick I truly believe it full hearted.

Peppermint oil and Eugenol does work. I spray dog and her bedding and around her cage and I use it also. It works on a lot of things.

I have Peppermint in a roll on and use it on my wrists.

Beam us up Scotty.

Tears of L'ter.....:) Thanks, needed that!

I've posted this before, I read in a hunting magazine years ago ,it was either Outdoor Life or Field & Stream,on how to keep ticks away.The article said to use vinegar. It said when you know you are going to be in the field to swallow a tablespoon of vinegar every night for about a week before and keep it up till the hunt was over. I read this back in the early 80's. Back then the worst place in Kentucky for deerticks was the Land Between the Lakes area. About 10 of us had planned on a week long early season bowhunt down there. Me and the 2 guys that were camping with me did the vinegar thing and it worked for us. Several of the other guys had deertick issues,but the 3 of us never had the first one.

I'm with you George !!!
