Ticks drive me buggy!

mental_ I just had a tick incident. I don't know where I picked it up, maybe in Georgia of somewhere along the way back home to NY. We got in Friday night and Sunday morning taking a shower I looked down and saw this brown thing. I can't see without my contacts in and I couldn't get out of that shower fast enough. I never expected to see a tick on my body! (in a comprimising spot I might add.) I'd pulled ticks out of my cats, so I had no problem getting it out of my skin. But then I developed a rash and one of my lymph nodes started swelling. I went to the doctor and she said there were no reported cases of Lyme Disease, but I had all the symptoms and she treated me for it. No big deal. I bought two antibiotic pills and swallowed both at the same time, and that was the cure! That's it. The swelling went down and I'm fine.

I am from the country and I have had ticks. In my experience, they either like you or they don't. The only thing I know to do is have someone do a body check when you come in from outdoor, every single time.

I dont know..I do know that brewers yeast works for fleas and ticks on dogs, just a sprinkle a day on the food keeps the ticks away. I have not tried it yet on my self because they dont like me but they do like my husband I always have to check him daily during the summer. I hate them I am a dog groomer and pull at least 50 to 80 ticks a day the one cool thing that i found is that if you put them in a cup of bleach and leave them over night they disolve into nothing.
