F@cking Deer Ticks

+1.

 

And spray your boots with permethrin (user carefully, not on your pets)

 

During the Spring Turkey season the woods are on fire with ticks and chiggers. A lot of the outdoor shows have Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever awareness booths that share very specific protocol. I personally would keep that doctor, but maybe research a little more. Congrats on the deer!!

Good Luck!

 

Chiggers are the friggin worst. I would take deer ticks over them anyday. One good infestation and your in misery for weeks.

 

I use permethrin on my pigeons for lice, works great. One spray near the vent and they are good to go.

 

No bulls eye, your probably fine. If you can take the antibiotics as a "just in case" measure, probably a god idea in my opinion. Someone told me if you get em in the first 24 hours, no chance of Lyme. No idea if that's true, but I've found a few on me and pulled them off with no issues.

I spend a lot of time in the woods, fishing hiking biking etc. On two separate occasions I've had a wood tick bite into my nut sack. I'm not a squeemish guy, but pulling ticks out of my balls while they are trying to dig in deeper kind of freaked me out. Pretty phucked up.

 

Ho Lee Phuc that sounds awful.

 

Interesting. I know they use it on livestock/horses etc and definitely don't use on cats but I really am not sure how safe it is on other animals. So the pigeon in your avatar is a pet?

 

Yea... and your sack bleeds like stink, too. So there's that...

 

I'd be wrapping my junk up and spraying something around the perimeter to prevent those bastards from getting anywhere near my boys lol

 

If all youse guys would stop "F@cking Deer Ticks" this wouldn't be an issue... Now I'm curious... Is a deer tick a good lay?

 

Deer F*ckers! HAHA

 

Yes, one of 50. Here is a pic of my loft

 

Zip, I gotta ask, what are the pigeons for? They quit sending mail that way a long time ago! HA

 

Man, Zippy... I want to move into your pigeon loft... it's Suite!!

 

As long as we are on the subject...

candiru

It seems attracted to the flow of urine (possibly as it resembles the stream of water from the gills of a large fish). The candiru may swim up the stream of urine and enter the urethra of a bather urinating into the river.

 

I raise them for show and fly them. They are tumblers so do flips in the air. Here is a video of rollers doing their thing

Funny, I get a lot of people driving by my house in the summer. We call them oglers, people who are visiting and dreaming of the day that they can retire and move here. They sometimes stop and ask if they can move into the pigeon loft.
