I worry more about chiggers, actually...and I KNOW it keeps them away...

Oh and how do I get this group off my email and just so I can go in and check the archieves, I don';t get to my mail sometimes like I should and I have over 600 messages to clear.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 We deal with ticks every year where I live and have never had an illness related to them. Do you have any idea how long the tick was there? There is far less chance of contagion if the tick was imbedded for less than 24 hours. The shorter the time, the less chance of a problem. If you do talk to the doctor, let him know approximately how long the tick was imbedded. If the body of the tick was still flat, chances are good that it wasn't on her for very long.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Macey's had five ticks found on her (two jumped on at school one day). None engorged and all within 24 to 36 hrs of being on there. No problems with the bite or the skin around it. My FIL had Lyme disease several years before I married Les and he had a hard time of it. Ticks are bad this year.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Belinda: I just looked up the info about a week or two ago because my SIL was upset about a tick they found on their daughter, not even embedded but just crawling. From what I read, the ticks that carry Lyme (deer ticks) are most prevalent in areas with both mice and deer. My SIL lives in a very suburban setting, so that doesn't apply to her. Plus, like someone else said, the longer the tick is on, the more chance of transmitting infection. I don't remember exactly but I think it isn't even possible for the tick to transmit infection in under 24 hours. The most obvious sign of Lyme disease is a bullseye rash. Not every single person with Lyme disease gets the rash but if you do you can hardly miss it! Good luck and try not to worry!

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 The USDA research station in Kerrville, TX has been using a simple technique to rid their 2000 acres of ticks for several years. They place feed out for the deer and wildlife that has been treated with a common worming medicine, Ivermectin. They pour on a small dose of wormer on the feed and make the blood of the treated wildlife potent deterrent to ticks, chiggers and mites. One bite and the ticks die. Once their life cycle is interrupted the ticks begin to disappear from a wide area. _http://www.wildlifeprotein.com/index.cfm/fa/categories.main/parentcat/16705_ (http://www.wildlifeprotein.com/index.cfm/fa/categories.main/parentcat/16705) ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Lily, I hear from all kinds of people who are using this method on their own. I am told that virtually all professional deer management farms use this. I put out soybean blocks on my farm that have been impregnated with Ivermectin. I have virtually no ticks on my 200 acres. I have taken 2 off my dog so far this year. Usually he would be nearly anemic by now from tick blood loss. But no more. It makes sense to me to do what we can to protect ourselves. If we can spend $1 on prevention it may save thousands on treatments. Neal Do you know if they are doing that anywhere else? I'm in california. I should check into this.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I get bitten plenty enough with ticks because my job is in the woods, but although we have deer, most or all of the ticks that have gotten me are “lone star†ticks and not deer ticks. There’s very little on the market that repels ticks. Cutter’s “Advanced†with Picaridin “might†work, but ticks aren’t insects and don’t respond to insect repellent. Some years ago, I read a newspaper article reporting that scientists had found something quite by accident in tomatoes that seemed to repel ticks, among other things. They announced that work on the ingredient would begin immediately at a site somewhere in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina. After a few years of not finding anything on the market, I looked it up on the web and found very little information. Here is a web article on the substance and the research. http://www.innovations-report.de/html/berichte/biowissenschaften_chemie/bericht-10509.html It’s not clear to me that the work or the substance has resulted in any commercial products. It don’t know what happened. It seemed so promising….
