[QUOTE="Fran, post: 355233, member: 3"] Welcome to my world. I never even saw a tick until I moved to the woods. LOL. Actually it's walking the dogs in the woods that is the problem. I get several a summer. We don't have much Lyme Disease in this area, so I pull them out with tweezer, wash thoroughly and move on. They itch something awful but I tend to react strongly to any sort of invasion to my body. (viral, insect etc) I have had the poor luck to have had the pinchers of the little buggers left in and they are a bear. I scratch, itch and itch some more. I had two injected last summer by the dermatologist. The only answer is to wear long slacks tucked into your socks. Long sleeves and preferably a hoodie to keep them off your hair/head. Not such an easy thing in the NC summer heat. husband had antibiotics for a tick and it's bite because it got red and swollen. They drew blood but fortunately no Lyme. He doesn't get out there much but he is cautious when it comes to diseases. I tend to slough it off but one day I'll end up flat on my back. Just different ways of dealing with stuff. With Duckie's allergies I can imagine you were very concerned. [/QUOTE]
