got a deer tick on me...........................:eek:

Man thats wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too early for them dang things, I wish they all die off in hibernation. So that means they gonna be thicker than last year and that was awful, good thing they don't like me much I usually only get 1 or 2 a year.But ya gotta watch out for them tiny ones that are the size of a pinhead.

sometimes smaller than that microscopic thats when things get ugly

You gotta watch out for those wee ones. They're the deer ticks and can carry Lyme. I had the beginning stages of that, but it was able to be treated with antibiotics. Still made me miserable for awhile.

Take your spray every time.

:mad: My husband got Rocky Mountain Spotted fever which is from a tick and got deathly sick and had to be sent to Barnes Hospital in St louis for over two weeks. My cousin also had it about 15 years ago and died from it because they didn't know that was wrong with him. B had several symptoms but no tick bite and no "spotted rash" that is common. We do hunt, fish, and live by the woods so I looked into it more and asked for him to be tested for that. There are only two places in the united states that does that and it takes 14 days to get the results! He got really sick, like drenching sweats, high fever,swollen lymph nodes, headaches, achy all over, tired, throwing up green,light headed, hallucinating,:eek: and couldn't even walk right before I took him to the er. He was put on I.v. morphine and antibotics right away. Now some docs said you can get it from a mosquitoes and fleas and some said you couldn't. I dont' know but they checked him from head to toe several times and never could find a tick bite. Usually when you get bitten there will be a "Bullzeye Rash" around the bite. Well they never did find a bite so we are unsure how he got it. Anyway make sure you get the head out and not with your fingers, use tweezers because the fluids can get into your blood. And wear light colored clothing, because you can see them on white alot easier than black. There are actually several different dieases that you can get from them that I was unaware of. Rocky Mountain is fatal if you don't get treated quickly. Doxycyline is usually the antibotic that treats tick born illnesses. Alot of people think that it is just the flu. They seemed to think it was Meningitis for a while and done spinal taps but they all came out neg. All I know is one day he was fine and the next week he was in st louis and couldn't even get out of the hospital bed. The sickness and recovery took about 6mos until he got back to normal.Avon Bug Gaurd works really well we noticed and you can put that on the whole family. They even have different scents so you don't have to stink like some of them do. My husband didn't want to use it at first because it was "AVON" lol, but now carries it in the truck and the boat and uses it everytime.:p

these pesky little sobs, i can't believe their out all ready, i hate ticks

a couple years ago my sis had the start of lyme disease but me and my dad noticed the bulls eye rash and she got to a doc and they treated reall quick.

You Can Have The Bulls Eye Rash And Not Have Any Diease....the Rash Usually Just Means That You Have Been Bit. It Is Best To Get Any Ticks Off In The First 24hours If Possible....some Docs Also Believe That He Is Immune To Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Since He Was Already Infected With It......Im Not Sure Though...
