Pellet heads!! What's up today?

The snow kept the second host (deer mouse) well insulated this past winter.

Deer mice, ticks, 6 deer per square miile make the chances of getting an infected tick very high.

The gold sandard antibiotic for Lyme is very hard on the digestive system as well, you no want to find out the boss says that was the icing on the cake.

Tons of them around me.

Question: does anyone remember ever seeing a tick when you were a kid? I was crawling all over the woods and bushes, and don't remember EVER seeing one or having one removed by my mom.

 

Guinea hens are the best for that.....they love the damm things.

 

She probably dusted you down with DDT before she let you go out!

Unless you magnified the hell out of that picture, that looks awful big to be a deer tick. Deer ticks are tiny. Wood ticks are much bigger.

All the snow we had insulated them. We need very cold winters with little snow to do those critters in.

 

This is exactly what it looks like. They can be really small, this was on the larger size for a Deer Tick it sounds like.

 

I remember my brother had one behind his ear. Most memorable part was he was bent over while my father removed it. When he was done he stood up and was light headed and fell to the floor after almost falling in the toilet

 

I take it, that took some time with him bent over for dad to removew it. That can make just about anyone a bit light headed. I've pulled 5 of the critters off me this yaer, only one was a deer tick.

We meet the criteria for likely to0 have the stuff and the boss has already been through the drill.

 

This was the first Deer Tick I have seen.
There was one time a friend and I were blasting through a field in his Jeep. About five minutes after we were done we discovered we were covered in ticks. No exaggerating we pulled over 50 ticks off of us, none were buried. We fed them to our fish. They rather enjoyed them.

 

I don't want to see any of them or their cousins, the fleas and chiggers. The regular flying blood sucker hordes are bad enough.

 

Don 't tell the ones that carry one off when out in the yard working in the garden.

Hey smoke ole buddy just completed a Medicare and such sign up.

 

Can't through the ssa those are all privste and I can't sign up for those until the part A and B is done. I have looked at a few of them but have time before ohoosing. You start this process in advance anyway. I've got some research to still do.

 

progress. yes!

 

What will these rooms be Larry? Always feels better puttin' in vs tearin' out doesn't it?
