deer tics i hate em
 

[:@][:@][:@]went out today to attach a bow hook and a pull up string
to one of my sons ladder stands that i had forgot to bring with me when i placed the stand two weeks ago when the temps was in the 50s in the mornings, no tics then. now its in the 80s again. i had run out of permonone spray and something told me not to go but i did anyway.
came home and noticed my pants looked like they were alive. PANIC ATTAC!!!!! took a bleach and water shower to rid them. any one else have them as bad as we do in southern Indiana?? they seem to favor the old coal mine ground spoilbanks.

Are you sure it wasn't chiggers? I have had several ticks on me but the way you describe it was hundreds. Better spray your vehicle down if it was.

Chiggers could be that too.

If yuo got any dug in spread some tobbasco sauce on em...thell back out in ab 30-45 seconds..

For sure thats a very good tip!!

just wanted to let you know that my husband got lymes when he got into a nest of deer ticks...he had hundreds of them on him...and it's an evil evil disease if gone untreated....just be careful...i wouldn't wish it on anyone.

The reason for the tobbasco is they pull there heads out themselves and dont have as much of a chance for infection..if you just pull them usually there heads will stay in which could be bad

Ya that's bummer.. I had a similar situation and I'm from So. IL.. I found a couple tics on me but I looked at my legs and they also seemed to be alive..lol But in my case there were hundreds of tiny red chiggers. I brushed them all off and got rid of the few tics... Just something we have to deal with in our necks of the woods..

we have lots of chiggers and ticks here in oklahoma I hate them,,they seem worse in the spring not as bad in the fall...something a bow hunter has to put up with I guess

Darn, that sucks. My family's dog was acting funny so we took him to tha vet. they said it could be lymes disease. theyre doing some tests to see for sure.
