So far I've pulled 2 ticks off the dog in two days, and flicked one off my pants today while I was eating lunch on a stump.  They're here so check yourselves! 


I have the Lyme's Disease so I try to make it a point to check for ticks every day.  Have any of you found them on your head?
Boy, back in my day..

Yep. Was drying off this morning after taking a bath. Noticed something dark in my belly button. Thought dirt or lint. Gave it an aggresive rub and it was a tick. Had been attached and fed a little. To late to worry about trying to get it to back out.
Give me a new saw chain and I can find you a rock in a heartbeat.

Picked up two of the little suckers handling bagged hose coming off a forest fire 40 miles north of Kenora Ontario. Found them after taking a hot bath at the motel I was staying at.

I hate ticks too!


luvmexfood, so you just let the tick hang out in your belly button?

Boy, back in my day..

NO! When I rubbed it real hard it came out. Thought it was stubborn dirt or something. Flushed it.

Never heard of a flatty before!  My belly button goes in so far that a few ticks could camp out in there, drink some beers, have a party, and I wouldn't know!

I've found 2 crawling on my belly so far this spring, I say I'm an innie, my wife says I'm an outie, so I guess that leaves me as an in betweenie?  ;D

A news clip that I read said that the abundance of ticks is due to the abundance of snow that insulated the ground and provided optimal survival conditions for ticks.  Doesn't matter here because we do not get enough cold anyway.

Can you get Lyme disease from just the standard southern "brown tick"?  I've been bitten a few times before and twice this year.  My wife says I need to get treated with antibiotics for 30 days... I think she's over-reacting.  What do y'all know?

I believe only deer ticks carry Lyme Disease.

Lyme disease from deer ticks and rocky mountain spotted fever from the brown ticks.

If you do not feel right a visit to your doctor is worthwhile. He will know what diseases the ticks in your area transmit and most likely do a blood test. My wife and I have both had Lyme disease and it is not something you want to mess with.

You have been mighty quiet for a year and a half, Stevens520.  How about an intro thread and telling us about your wood, tree, sawing, lumber interest.  Adding your location to your profile also helps.  Welcome !!!   :)

Ticks.  One of the un-joys of Summer. :-[

I've been painting a house in my small town all week. Had to lie on the ground to scrape the bottom clapboard.
Found a tick near my armpit when I was lying in bed last night and another this morning on my hip.

YUCK !!! I really hate ticks.

Our cats get them sometimes, as does my wife.  For some reason they don't bite me, though I've found some crawling around looking for a more tasty location.

I just have to wade back in here.
Earlier in this thread I mentioned being bitten by a tick at a forest fire I neglected to mention that it was this spring not 2 weeks ago. The wound on my butt was red and irritating. Needless to say I sot medical attention and my Doctor put me on antibiotics with a blood test due on the 28th of this month. He informs me that there are up to 7 different types of bacteria that tick can transmit.

I've pulled eight off me this week, and two last Friday. In 2014, I had a total of two.
I'm thinking it's going to be a hot summer. ::)

I pulled 2 ticks off my son last night.  He was clearing some brush all day yesterday.
