Guest guest Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Anne, I am screaming and doing my EEEWWWWWWWWW dance for you (which really is just lifting my legs off the ground in my current state) for you! Nothing personal, please don't send him my way! I am so sorry you have to go through that!!

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Was it attached to the skin? If so, keep a watch on the skin, if it becomes red at all, get the doc to look. I don't know if you can even take the antibiotic to prevent Lyme's, come to think of it. I can't take any of the " mycin " types.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 > Anne R wrote: > I just found my 1st wood tick of 2012 Anne, I lived on a farm when my Dad retired from the military, so it doesn't bother me. I would keep it in jar in case something comes up, had he bit you ? That is all you need! Time to put sevin dust down because it is safe and kills them in home. My Dad had one hundred cows and I had to help castrate them in the days before rubber bands, they would just be bawling when I put the black stuff on their wound with a tongue depressor, back to their Moms. They have thing called wolve or cattle grub which are larvae that the flies lay beneath their skin, I used to squeeze them out as they were large and I wanted the cow not to have them. I have treated screw worms where horns have been cut off. You also have a tick check daily and learn the type of each one. I can attest living on a Farm makes for interesting entertainment to include knowing types of snakes, coyotes vs wild dogs, types of grasses, types of fish, mating, birth and death. I can say I really worked hard and enjoy the country where you can walk out and look in the sky and it as if you can reach up and touch the little and big dipper and other stars. So cows are likeable also until the one I raised was slaughtered for our meals and I did not know it to later. That is the downfall.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I live across from a nature preserve. And worked at a boy scout camp so I know about ticks, bugs, bears, etc. I just don't like finding them on myself. > Bennie wrote: > I lived on a farm when my Dad retired from the military Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Bennie, After the things you just describe, I think I will stay in the concrete jungle. I get the heebee geebees from a fly. Next time I see a bug in my house, you will hear me screaming!

Anne, EWWWWWW and I also can feel any small thing changed, it is because I usually sqaush it before I can tell what it is : ) Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
