Wood Ticks!

Are the Ticks out yet? What area are you from and how are the Wood Ticks there.

Went for a walk with the dog today. Pulled 4 off of me. Waukesha county

Took my dog for a walk threw some public land I used to hunt, won't do that again. I bet I pulled 10 ticks out of each ear and then 20 or better off her body. Little basstards.

2 on my wife and 1 on me. 2 weeks ago up in BRF.

For the past 5 years I've suffered from the effects of tick bites but not how you'd normally think. After stumping several doctors and an allergist or two, I found a group of folks who have developed severe allergic reactions to red meat. All have been bitten by ticks or chiggers. Here's the weird part...it's a delayed reaction sometimes 6-8 hours later so it's been dificult to determine what caused my reaction. I originally thought spices, MSG, something but the hive attacks were horrible and have become more severe. From the article I found.....after eating meat, mostly beef, pork, lamb, even venison, "the body triggers the production of an antibody that binds to a sugar present on meat called alpha-galactosidase, also known as alpha-gal. When a person who has the antibody eats meat, it triggers the release of histamine, which causes the allergic symptoms: hives, itching and, in the worst case, anaphylaxis." From experience, I've had to use an Epipen several times, but now this info confirms at least for me...no more meat. Here's a link...it's called mammalian meat allergy. http://allergytomeat.wordpress.com/frequently-asked-questions/ So moral of the story is be super careful out there hunting and gathering. It could kill you.

I'd rather be covered in a hundred deer ticks than watch that disturbing scene from "Deliverance" again. Excuse me I just puked in my mouth.

in the woods 20 minutes yesterday and found 5 on me !!!!!

5 yesterday after a little shed excursion, starting out pretty bad already;

the granddaughter had one in her hair yesterday 3/16 in kenosha

Had one crawling on me yesterday after a walk in the wild, Shawano area.

BAGS, BAGS, BAGS, what are we going to do with you? Maybe that burnt skull got you seeing wild hogs and Big Foot.

Burning them out is one of the worst things you could do anyways. They will regergitate back into your body.... this guy also see's wild hogs in adams county and around Plainfield and also saw bigfoot.... maybe the gasoline dunk would clean the gene pool?

Let me get this strait farmboy..... you get one in your hair, they burrow in your head then you take a match to them...huh. If you dunk your head in gasoline then light the match you can get them all at once. Just kidding please don't try this, but if you do I want to be the first one you send pics to. Thanks in advance

Summers Bad here,( Adams Cnty, Wis) If they get in my hair, they burrow into the scalp, I just burn em out with a Match.

Vet pulled a deer tick off the puppy yesterday.

Just pulled one off the cat today and one about the first week of January. I HATE TICKS
