TOPIC: Lyme Disease and deer ticks.

It is a big problem here. I've had to undergo treatment in the past. We went hunting this morning and in one hour we were back home. I picked off 46 deer ticks off of myself in that time. My son didn't keep count. We stripped outside and I put our cloths in the washer while he showered and then I took a shower. He had to borrow cloths to get home. It was not pleasant.

I hate those little SOB's. My son had to go through a couple of treatments also. Big problem with them up here in northern Minnesota too.

Glad to here none of them set into you Bob.

i remember years ago pulling a few off my german shephard in the poconos. one of em had to have been there awhile. it was about the size of a pencils eraser head. i put a glob of vaseline on it and let it sit there for awhile, then pulled it out. ron

My old man many years ago used to take a lit cigarette and touch it to their hineys, they would back out also.
