I H-A-T-E TICKS WE GET DEER TICKS AND WHAT WE CALL DOG TICKS THEY ARE GREY AND EVEN WHEN FOUND EARLY STILL GET HUGE .YUCK!!!!

[DJFyrewolf36]

Ticks are sooo gross ugh I itch when I look at one! We have deer ticks out near the rivers and wooded lakes *pretty much anyplace a Mosquitos habitate, ticks do too around here* I had a tick in my armpit once. Dad tried to burn it to get it to pull out and ended up burning my armpit hair *last time I forget to shave before going into the woods* AND exploding the tick. That was nasty!!!
I HATE ticks ick ick ick!

I was just diagnosed (sp) with Lyme's Disease yesterday I have to take Doxycycline for 3 weeks to get ride of it......So naturally I HATE TICKS!

[Cookiebaker]

I *hate* ticks, too! They can jump pretty far, too! Uggh. I usually freeze them in a plastic bag, and that way I KNOW they are dead.

Are you sure? I read once ticks can live in a state of dormancy in Siberia .

I hate them too though, I usually use alcohol to kill them. I still can't get enjoyment from killing or making them suffer though.. they are still only doing what comes natural for their own survival.

ugh, yes living in MN is a pain...speaking of MN buggers...mosquitos! I hate them! We just started getting them and I have so many bites already. and its sooo hard not to scratch them! Anyone know any good rememdies to get rid of mosquito bite itch?

[MariaM]

to get rid of mosquito itch, i use gold bond lotion. it works really well. lol.

And...I was thinking of posting a thread about this too. I absolutely HATE ticks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Major has had a couply on him, I pulled one off, luckily I think I found it after it had been on, maybe only an hour or so. Not sure, but it wasn't hard to get off. Katherine's dog Hansen, the beatiful golden retriever, had SO many and they were BIG. It was SICK SICK SICK but we burned them all. I think we pulled about 15 off. They are the grossest creature! EW I hate them so much, and enjoy burning them, watching them suffer.

Yeap, Maria, I like making them suffer too. They sure do make our dogs, and even us suffer. The itching is awful when you get one of these ticks on you, I usually puff up, and it really can make an awful sore on you!

I hate ticks, whatever I have to do to kill them, I will do it!! They are so bad here, it is just unreal, and has been bad for months. They are all different sizes, from the size of the tip of a needle to much larger! Yeap, we have them really bad here in this part of Tennessee.

They can jump?? I always flush mine. I can't imagine them swimming upstream! LOL! I read somewhere that they shouldn't be burned. Apparently if they are harboring a disease they might burst and you wouldn't want that junk getting on you!

Hmm I've never seen a tick jump, but I've seen fleas jump . I've killed plenty of ticks and fleas for the protection of both dogs and people, but I do it quickly. I have no desire to make something suffer. Creatures are only doing what nature tells them they must to survive, and my heart will never take joy in the killing of anything. When it needs to be done, it will be, but I have always been extremely sensitive to the sanctity of all life.

[trayi52]

Sorry, if I seem cruel, but that is just the way I feel about them. I have never burned one and had it burst either, I use a lighter, and burn the head.
