Milly, we have a terrible outbreak of ticks here this year.   News reports, and the vet said the outbreak here hasn't been this bad since 1995...............I use deep woods ANYTIME, I go outside.................prevents ticks, fleas mosquitoes, spiders, etc..........anyway, it is the only one that works for me.   Plus we spray , pesticides  in the areas we are in, and yesterday, found some granules for fleas and ticks, and ants  which Jim put down today.  It is activated with water.   So rain won't wash it away............Remember, Milly, take some tweezers and pull from behind the tick, it pulls the head out this way.........put in jar, and if you get ill, you have the tick for the Dr.   We get all kinds of animals coming onto our property, so if they pass ticks off of them, hopefully, all the chemicals we have out will kill them.......................If I find any, I am calling an exterminator, I think they might have the bigger guns than you can buy ....................................sam  After walking to my backyard to the garden and back to the house. I  went to the bathroom and when I pulled down my drawers, I noticed what I thought  was a blood clot....Not I touched it an it moved...I yanked it off which I  should not have. Lo and behold it was a TICK....Now I am going to be paranoid  everytime I go outside. Gonna have to invest in bug spray. I have to keep an eye  on the area to make sure I don't get a rash that looks like a bullseye. Don't  know if I yanked it's head off. I don't see it on my belly....I put alcohol on  the area and then put the tick on the kleenex and put it in a jar. I probably  should call my doctor and see what he says... I have never seen a tick up here.  Most likely got it from a deer-groundhog- rabbit or ferrel cats that are always  coming in my yard....Oh boy....Leave it to Milly Milly WARD Piros Everyday above ground is a good day.  **************Dell Days of Deals!
