Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Yes sulfur is used for cattle in salt licks. You can just buy sulphur at the feedstore and put it on your property and the ticks will run. [ ] Recent Tick Bite AND Treated Salt Lick for Deer? I've just gotten my 3rd tick bite this year! One was over a month ago and it still itches a bit. Husband removed one yesterday from near my collar bone (!) and it's itching and has a red spot about the size of a silver dollar. I'm thinking I need to go and get antibiotics started. Your thoughts? Also, I remember reading a few years ago about salt licks treated with something that would kill deer ticks. I can't find any info. when I google it. We now have several acres and lots of deer roaming so I would love to buy these if in fact they're on the market. Does this sound familiar to anyhone?
