Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I know it's after the fact but one way of getting rid of a tick is to hold something that is producing heat, such as the end of a lit cigarette, directly above the tick but not close enough to burn your skin. After you've held it there a couple minutes, the tick will usually back out because of the heat and you can then destroy it. This avoids leaving pieces of the tick inside your skin.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I just read a article and it said to not to use heat to remove. It said the tick will release it's stomach fluid. This will make you sick as well! We of course used heat and tweezers. These are things that people need to know in advance. A friend said to rub dishliquid on the tick and it back out on it's own. She yold me this after the fact as well..lol The article also said that anti-biotic is given after a tick bite. I don't want to do that! I'm wondering if I should up his vit C as a precaution? Is there a certain supplement that would help his immunity against Lymes? Thanks for your reply Treva Shay Spence > > > Hi everyone! My son was bit by a deer tick over the weekend.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I didn't know that about the heat. Dishwashing liquid might be a good idea too. Evidently whatever irritates the tick will cause it to back out.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 If the tick has lime disease it will leave a bruse or dark mark, you may want to check for that. Otherwise most people who get tick bites never get lime. Matt > > > Hi everyone! My son was bit by a deer tick over the weekend. It was > removed with tweezers.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I'm in the woods and high grass alot so have had alot of ticks to remove in my lifetime. I've never had any luck applying anything to make the tick back out on it's own. So I just pinch it real close with my finger nails and pull it out. I heard somewhere that as long as you get to them within 24 hrs of first latching on, your chances of contracting anything is very small. Just watch the bite and make sure it doesn't get a huge red spot around it. - Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told lavender oil was good to keep fleas away. What about tick's? +++Hi Treva. People do not get Lyme's disease or any illness from being bitten by a tick. The reason is because Lyme's disease, which is a bacteria, is created within the person's body in order to clean it up, like all viruses and bacteria, so it does not occur from some outside source like ticks. The fact IS not everyone who gets bitten by a tick gets Lyme's Disease, so that alone should point us to another cause. It's like the analogy of the manure pile and the flies, where the manure pile represents the poor condition of the body, and the flies bacteria and viruses.. The flies are there because of the manure pile, so cleaning up the manure pile gets rid of them, i.e. building up the immune system and improving the condition of the body. If your son is healthy he won't get sick. If he is rundown and unhealthy he " may " get sick, but hopefully he is on a healthy diet.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Just me, but I would take to dr and get 6 wks of antibiotics for safety. I would not waste money on tick, just do preventive. Yes ticks are out here in MO. [ ] tick bite We live in central Illinois and I discovered a tick on my 4 yr old yesterday morning. The tick was not there the night before as I would have noticed during her bath. Our 18 yr old has been battling LD since she was a freshman in HS. We contacted our LLMD's office where they gave us the information on where to send the tick for testing. According to the CDC, there is zero percent transmission if caught within 24 hrs. I am not sure what type of tick it is. I don't believe that it is a dog tick as per images online. The testing is very expensive or I would not be so hesitant to send the tick to the lab. Our oldest daughter has suffered immensely with the disease but is on her way to recovering and leading a normal life. Does anyone have advice as to whether I should be so proactive in getting the tick (unknown type) tested? Where can I find more information on the carriers themselves? Are deer ticks already active in our area? Or am I over-reacting? There was a time when I wouldn't have thought twice about discovering a tick...

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I believe there is a New ENgland Journal of Medicine article saying one dose of doxycycline has been proven to be preventative in contracting lyme. Doxy is not indicated for kids under 8 (I know amoxycillen is usually prescribed, but don't know if it has the same prophylactic effect). Your best bet is to call your LLMD and get his/her advice. If preventative antibiotics are indicated, they need to be started asap (I think w/in something like 48 hours) for them to work.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 carol, in regards to your grandaughter being born with lyme and another grandbaby on the way. since i was diagnosed and then informed myself on the disease i guess i resolved that having another child was just not in the cards for me since from what i read transmission is possible, if not likely. i have only heard that a mother can take antibiotics throughout her pregnancy in order to assure that the baby would not get lyme in the womb but i have never actually heard someones story 1st hand. so, if you would please share what your daughter is doing as a preventative measure in assuring this baby won't be born with lyme. what do her dr.'s or llmd say about this? how sure can you be, how big is the risk? i am assuming in your daughters case she is very sure the risk is small, if at all that this baby will be born with lyme exposure, i guess i want to know what she knows, has learned, or has been told to give her such courageousness in baring another child knowing she has lyme and could transmit it...i would love to have another baby but i didn't know it was possible to do so without transmitting it, and i wouldn't be able to live with myself if that were the case. your post gave me some hope so please share all the info you know on how this is possible, i am excited/anxious to hear! thanks, danielle On Tue, Mar 29, 2011 at 12:02 PM, Carol Tabor <toothfairy55@...>wrote: > > > The ticks in our area didnt die even after -32 degree weather and 3 foot of > > snow.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 > > Hello group. I've been on the diet 40 months. I found an attached tick on my hip eleven days ago. I'm certain it was there approximately 26 hours. It left a quarter sized black and blue area around the bite that lasted for three days after which it looked like a mosquito bite. But for the last week I have been feeling quite weak and tired. I'm not sure if I should see a doctor. I suspect a doctor would want to give me antibiotics. Do I risk getting Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, or some other problem? +++Hi Brad, Ticks do not cause diseases nor infections in anyone. If they did everyone who got a tick bite would become infected. Bugs of all kinds are created by your own body, as needed, in order to get rid of toxins, help heal wounds or injuries, etc. However modern medicine pushes the idea that bugs can be acquired from outside the person so we are all vunerable victims of bugs. They base this on the Germ Theory of Disease which is totally false, but it does make them lots of money! If it were true we could " catch " any bugs then we would ALL have ALL bugs ALL of the time since they are everywhere, and life on Earth could not have happened. See these articles to understand: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu5_3_1.php Also see articles on Healing Naturally: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu1_2.php Here's some great quotes: -Germs live off of dead matter. -In the septic tank, sewerage is reduced by them [germs] until it finally passes out pure water in which fish may live. -They [germs] are purifying and beneficial agents. -Germs do not, cannot, attack healthy tissue. They are . . . scavengers, and are busily engaged in reducing dead organic matter to the dust from whence it came. -From the stand–point of Natural Science, germs cannot be regarded as the cause of " disease, " for, if they are, we should all be the victims of one or more germs at all times. -If bacteria can attack and kill healthy tissues, organs and organisms, then it should not be long before these bacteria shall have destroyed all the higher forms of life and have the world to themselves. -If the bungling " scientific " man does not check [stop] the flow of healing serums [vaccines, drugs, etc.]... and obstructive dressings, [surgery, etc.] healing will be [done] by first-intention—Nature's way. Bee's Note: Nature's Way may end up as its last resort, which is to create cancer to remove the least fit of the species, turning the body back into dust. -When digestion is normal, the bacillus [bug] is utilized as food along with the lobster [or any food]. All of the digestive juices are germicidal [kills them] and normal digestion digests germs as readily as it does apples or bread. So rest assured you cannot get any bug from the tick bite.
