That Creep Crawly Feeling

Why is it that when you find a tick on yourself, you can’t shake that feeling that there are more crawling all over your body? Ugh.

It’s inevitable. Found one in a spot on my back that I cannot reach and had to have my wife help pull it off a couple weeks ago. The 10 seconds waiting for her to walk to the bathroom felt like 5 years. What makes it feel a little better is thinking about all the hours it was on there without you knowing…works for me, maybe it makes it worse for others.

I hear ya there! I closed on a new to us house in April. Didn’t get my mower till a week and a half later. (it was a previously vacant house) I was, on average, getting 5-6 on myself alone a day. Now that I have caught up on mowing the grass down, I only find them when I’m in the woods or tall thick grass on the edge of where I stopped mowing. But yes, I’m still constantly “feeling” the creepy crawlers all the time. Luckily, I haven’t had any getting attached and not one deer tick yet. Not sure if they come out later in the year or? Either way, a pain in the arse dealing with the feeling all the time.

Ticks… Even when you think you might have one but find out you don’t, they still creep you out

No, that does not help!

Get yourself some of this: Sawyer Products Premium Permethrin Clothing Insect Repellent

I was skeptical to say the least because I’ve seen every fad in insect repellent come and go. This stuff WORKS.

Ticks are no laughing matter anymore and I want maximum protection. This is the best I’ve found by far.

I’ve never found a tick on me after I’ve worn clothing treated with this stuff.
Not a single one. This stuff doesn’t repel, it kills and ticks can only hang on for a matter of seconds before they start to die.

The only downside is that you have to “treat” your clothing rather than just spritz some here and there. But it lasts through multiple wearings, so I now have a set of “treated” clothing including pants, socks, shirt, shorts, hat that I just keep treated at all times. It’s supposed to last through washings, but I always retreat because it takes 30 seconds per garment.

Grouse

I get the feeling after finding one myself, but why does that feeling need to show up after somebody ELSE finds a tick? Lol

TFG, I have a bottle, and I do think it works. Last night, I wasn’t wearing anything treated, though.

X2 Grouse! It works very well. I’ve had Lyles disease twice with the second time being hospitalized for five days, it’s serious business.
I have no problems with spiders, snakes, etc… but ticks, hate em.
I hate that feeling Ralph, constantly pulling up my pant legs, ick!

Is a symptom of “Lyles” disease typos?

I picked up some ticks at work in this one spot last year. This year I had to go back into that spot and kept feeling them all day even though I didn’t pick up another one this year.

This post has me feeling ticks now! Thanks a lot!!!

I watched a 50 some minute video the other day that a fella posted about ticks and the new Thermo Cell tic tubes.

I haven’t sat still since!

Course it didn’t help that I had a tic on my white shirt last night…

Better to be “double extra careful” of them little things…”They’ll kick your rear end so bad, you won’t know what hit you til its too late! Been there, done that, and I must say I’ve never been so sick in my entire life!

this is the truth ! several years ago my wife and I went fishing at a large pond the county owns,we had to walk through chest high weeds to get to the shoreline to be able to fish as it is not mown at all.

I was sunburned enough I couldnt feel those things crawling on me,once home we found thirty nine of those bass tards on me,I must have walked through the mother load.
a few weeks later the fatigue,muscle and joint pain along with other symptoms had me bed ridden.
it was written off as the ‘flu’ and it took everything I had to muster the strength to get up everyday,problem is,the flu doesnt last for two years.

I missed a lot of work,in fact it cost me a job one year,the meds I was taking had its own affects as they were actually working against me and what ever was causing the problems.
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and even told it was in my head.
finally I went to a Dr. that recognized the symptoms right away and tested me for lyme disease.

sure enough,thats what it was and I started treatments right away.
I am better now but it took a lot out of me,I will never be like I once was and the symptoms knock me down on occasion.
this is something there is no cure for,only treatments but at least I am alive.
be careful out there,lyme disease is no joke.

I got some guineas early this year and with them patrolling the yard and fields I haven’t had a single ticket on me

Bring a few dozen down to my camper. They seem to be in the gravel too!
