Preferably when you are doing the "Getitoffmegetitoffme" dance.

They look like tick larvae to me, but it's hard to see clearly.

Those aren't ticks?

That is remarkable video. Holy smokes.

You're right, apologies. I really don't want to derail the thread. It just struck me as maybe a little sexist. I regret replying that way though, since this is about a girl who died. What a sad, sad event.

I just...what?

I am currently putting information together on this very topic for a journal club at work. The confusion, as I understand it, stems from the non-specific tests done on ticks. There are borrelia species that ARE transmitted transovarially in the ticks, meaning the larvae are hatched already...

That Subaru makes me want to cry. It looks like a brand new one, maybe even a 2015! :(

Haha, it certainly does! I think it was a 12 gauge?

My one and only experience shooting clay pigeons was there. I didn't do too badly as I recall.

The sooner you remove the tick, the better. I strongly advise against waiting for the tick to detach. Swabbing it with permethrin basically causes every nerve to fire, so your chances of getting it to secrete more saliva into the bite are also there. Grab it with tweezers or your fingers as...

I think vigilance is the most important thing here, and it sounds like you have it covered. Any ticks you find should be removed immediately. Resistance to pyrethroids (including permethrin) has been documented in tick species associated with cattle since it's a really commonly used insecticide...

The adult deer ticks will be around in the fall when things are cooler. Now is the time of year for the nymphs (at least until it gets hot), which are much harder to spot and usually bite mice and other small mammals. Repellents are so tricky. Permethrin should prevent ticks from biting but...

The spot on products have always been about the same price since the inception of the first one, Frontline. If you break it down month to month, they are about $10-$12 a month depending on which size you buy. There are cheaper over the counter products that contain pyrethroids as their main...

If you have dogs and cats, I highly recommend the Seresto collar for them. They last 8 months and are very good at preventing tick attachment. They also seem to prevent midge and mosquito bites, although they are not labeled for that. Since they are so good with ticks, they should also work...

Wow, there's more confusion than I thought.

We have the same rig, and Whitesbog is the first place in the Pines we are planning to go next time we are in the area. Whitesbog in October is just magical.

Fantastic! My husband and I just watched and enjoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing that! Is that your music?

Me too.
