EWolfe Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 Dammit, Bones! I found 4 on me after Snow Creek trail hike on Wednesday Quote
DPS Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 I came back from Leavenworth once and felt something on my stomach. It was a tick with its head buried in my skin. But this tick was running around in circles all crazy like. I think it was just a nervous tick. Quote
Dechristo Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 Careful... too many ticks in repetitive succession and you'll have a time bomb. Quote
mattp Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 I think it should be ticks dancing around the maypole instead of ladybugs in that Mayday thread. They started a little late this year, but they are sure dancing around now! Quote
archenemy Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 I heard that you can wear tick collars on your ankles and it will help repel them. Anyone ever try this? Any other hints on how to stay tickless? Quote
G-spotter Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 Tick collars on the ankles won't help for the ones that transfer from a branch on a bush to your midriff. Quote
G-spotter Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 Other species of primates get around this problem through social grooming. You just need someone cute to pick ticks off you. Quote
archenemy Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 That is the best advice I've heard in a long time. Quote
JayB Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 I heard that you can wear tick collars on your ankles and it will help repel them. Anyone ever try this? Any other hints on how to stay tickless? Permethrin treatments for clothing are supposed to be pretty effective. http://www.tickinfo.com/permethrin.htm Quote
G-spotter Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 And permethrin soaked panties will kill your crabs, too. Quote
Aya Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 Beware of ticks on your dog, too. My dog got lyme disease (despite being on frontline) and it cost me about $1000 all told after all the blood tests and ABs and whatnot. Symptoms can include being lame and hairloss. Quote
EWolfe Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 God, that sounds awfully close to my state of being, maybe I can blame it on Lyme's Disease! Quote

Lame and hair loss? No Shit, thats me! Quote
