Ticks

[BAZOOKa]

Anyone else noticed ticks being especially bad this spring? I have found more this spring than I ever remember. Just me?

They were horrible st Sand Burr gun range when my son & I took the class with Frank (Glock 21) instructing us. I killed 7 that were either on us or our gear. My dogs get an anti-tick flea med combo so I don't have to worry about them. I need an ATI-tick/ flea/ mosquito med safe for humans!

I hope not, nothing makes my skin crawl more that ticks.

Washed out cat litter boxes Friday AM and stepped off the patio a step or two onto grass to dump the soapy water. That was the only time all day I was in grass, I wasn't even under trees!

Found 2 ticks on my thigh area about 2 hours later. Never got them with such brief exposure before

They do seem out early this year. Last year in the summer they were really bad in here in Parke Co.

A couple days ago I spent a few minutes in the woods looking for mushrooms and all I came home with was a tick on my shoulder.

A few days earlier I picked one off the dog. It's definitely that time of year.

picked two of them off me turkey hunting today. You are right, they are real bad this year.

I saw a guy last summer who had hundreds of tick bites. Was an old guy with dementia who spent five days in the hills. I think he had erlichosis.

Same here. Give me snakes and spiders, but keep the ticks away!

I went mushroom hunting today. Brought my wife and 18 month old daughter. My wife has found two on her so far and has been getting her Google education on ticks as she sits here and freaks out. I guess that will be the last time I have "help" mushroom hunting.

Found three on dog and me in last couple days

Just plucked one out of my neighbors daughters ear yesterday. I never worried to much about them in the yard. I only got them running in the woods.

The ticks are worse than usual this year. My three dogs all have the tick medicine in their systems and the one long haired dog is still getting ticks on him, I take off one or two a day.

Have found about 4 times more ticks as mushrooms this Spring. Must be all the damn rain.

I thought you picked mushrooms with your hands. Oh, you must have been using the dick pick technique.

My dogs get a daily check for ticks. Boxer may have one on her but never attached, Mastiff with longer fur has multiple attached every time.

My guess is because the Boxer is never stationary and runs full speed when outside, not giving them pesky ticks a chance to land on her? Her fur is very short and dense as well.
