We would be happy to provide you with a rooster (or guinea hen) as a permanent tick-eating guest at your home.

We are most definately interested. Our 2acres here in Elizabeth Arkansas is infested with ticks.

has any body had more than one bullseye rash in any given time? I HAD 24!!!
IS IT SPIDERS OR TICKS?

I am scared of tick. Last 4 day I went to California Camp Park's and they said there will be tick and i was scared i don't think i have it and i have a pimp and not sure is it a tick.

"i have a pimp and not sure is it a tick"

if it's oddly coloured or very red, it might be a tick in larva stage. If that is the case, they tend to be too small to embed their heads and all you have to do is pick them off.

We're from Maryland and we went to some little town in Virginia for an Airsoft OP and the woods there were infested with lone star ticks and dog ticks. My brother got 5 clinging to his legs and had to pull them off. The heads weren't embedded yet, but in a couple of hours they would have been. I was the lucky one, we pulled them all off of me before we got home, except for a couple of blood-red baby ones I had to pick off my thigh.

The bullseye rashes are caused by bites from deer ticks. Go to the doctor and get antibiotics for Lyme disease, just in case.

i found tick in my bed couple days ago jumping next to my 1 1/2 month baby. he had a little red dot on his arm i put listerine on it now its gone but should i do anything else?

i found one on my arm yesterday and called the hospital. the hospital directors gave me advice
they said do no try to smuther the tick in anything , if it does carry a disease and you try to smuther it, it will release salive into your blood stream causing you to get the disease, instead if it's little you scrape it off with a credit card. and if it's bigger use tweasers to pull it out

wow.. you guys are babys.

"Wow you guys are babys"
i didnt post any of these but who ever posted that is EXTREMELY RUDE!

heat up a needle and slowly approach the tick with it. if you touch it, it will release from you. i used to just pull them off. it doesn't hurt.

Yesterday morning when I was in the shower I noticed a tick on my breast. It was still very small when I noticed it but asked several different people on how to remove it and got different answers. I came online and all answers pointed to taking tweezers to it. I had no idea how it had gotten there! I live in the city. I pulled it out but now I have a little red bump and I'm not sure if its normal or not... Still searching for answers on here I guess. Anyway, FREAKY.

We found 2 ticks after showering today. one was full and the other was still flat. removed both with tweezers (very slowly pulling, not squeezing). The full one came right off. The flat one held on like hell. finally got it off. going to the doctor tomorrow to have both ticks and myself tested for lyme disease.

I went hiking last Thursday and found a tick on my stomach when I got home. I pulled it off (head and all) and thought everything was fine until Wednesday when my teeth and gums started to hurt. My gums became red and swollen and bled when I brushed my teeth. It turns out that the bacteria from the tick caused a flesh-eating gingivitis (despite brushing and flossing everyday)! I just returned from the hospital where I needed to get an IV and several prescriptions to prevent my teeth falling out, serious tissue deterioration, or the spread of the disease to my jaw bone! Ticks can be very serious and being concerned about them is not being a baby!

When we were on the grade 8 trip in ottawa, i noticed a tick under the brim of my sock.. Don't see how you guys have problems with them?
Take a lighter, heat it up and touch the rear end of the tick. it should loosen it's grip and fall out. then crush it with the end of the ligher. PEACE!

I found a deer tick on my upper thigh after taking my shower. I didn't know what it was at first, but it was well embedded and didn't want to come off. I dont think it was on more than 24 hours, but I went to my MD and got doxicycline just in case. I was told that if I had flu like symptoms in about two weeks from now, I should return and get the full antibiotic course.

I just pulled one off my back...my area only recently got them so I don't really know much about them. Do they tend to move around to pick a spot? Do they ever feed in more than one spot? I have a small spot that's bleeding but it's quite far from the spot I pulled the tick off (scratched it off with a nail, not realizing what it was)Thanks!

I had a really big welt, now its spreading like wild fire and has made a rash like you wouldn't believe and it is itching like crazy! Was it a tick!?

In Turkey recently 20 plus people died of tick bites and it is spreading fast. Is it not curable?

My Father found a tick (I live in Ohio, and Deer ticks are VERY uncommon.) after he went golfing, and it was HUGE. It was (if you have a mac.) about the size of the little scroller on the mouse. Seroiusly. It was HUGE.

We drowned it,.

I went paint balling up state N.Y and found a large tick on my stomach. The staff member pulled it off. It had a apot on its back (lone star I suppose). 2 days later I feel flu like symptons but no rash. When the tick was pulled off a little spot of blood showed. All my friends had little baby ones on them. What should I do at this point?

my dad and brother have a farm in upstate ny, Oswego ny to be exact. In 2005 my dad noticed a bite on his left wrist. he treated it with anti-biotic creams to start with. It got very red and much bigger. he went to a dermatologist in syr ny. they had never seen anything like it, gave him something to put on it and sent him home. to make a long story short, he slowly over the next 2 years began to suffer all the syptoms of lymes disease. we questioned the drs but were told he had alzheimers disease, which if you compare the syptoms of both diseases,you will see they are remarkedly the same. finally after 2 years of pleading with the dr, in nov of 2007 they finally did some extensive tests, that revealed that my dad did have limes diseae and it was in the last stages. He passed away on nov 7th 2007. if the drs would have listened to us earlier he might have been able to avoid the pain the disease causes, maybe his life could have been saved. I can't stress enough how important it is for anyone that notices a tic or a bullseye rash, to get it checked out. It should not be taken lightly! I also think that there should be more pamphlet's put in drs. offices, health clinics and hospitals. People, Drs, and the general public need to imformed!

i when horse riding on June 4, 2008 , when home took a bath and find a tick on my back so at first I didnt know what it was so i look in the mirror saw a tick so i put it out but it left the head or leg still stuck cause i still feel it so I had my girlfriend pull it out with the tweezer. But three weeks later i had a big red spot but not a bullsize look so i when to the doc, ask me if i feel any fever, no fever or any illness so I had a blood test anyway. the blood result was nagative but it been 3 month now and i still have the stupid red spot the size of a quarter.now take Triamcinoline acetonide cream to get rid of the spot.
