Treatment Tick bite fever

[SotPoker1012]

I'm so glad I live in a place where ticks do not appear to be common. Even on my long hikes, I've never actually seen one since I was growing up and my dog had a tick.

I don't know. Protect yourself.

And burn as much of the shrub and thicket away and to the ground as you can if it's in your own yard.

I don't want to say it .... but yah, kill it with fire.


I thought that my dog had one the other day ... and I wanted to rush her to the vet.

I picked at it and it's gone. Maybe it was a dirtball. I don't think a tick would move around.

It could have been a burr. She went ' out ' in the field. Hiding from the hoses.

Finally, semi decent nights rest. Smoked a lot of weed but had no cold sweats and mind feeling a lot more clear. Energy levels still.way down like a weak body but to be expected. Stomach is still going though, so gonna get some probiotics today and multi vit just for a extra boost.

Hope to be back to myself in the next day or 2.

good to hear man! you sound much more clear.
sorry you had a rough few days
take care of yourself

I'm a dog groomer and removed hundreds of ticks off a dog,horrific conditions I've seen in my 20 plus years and yah know I've never been bitten?I've even caught some crawling on me in bed but they have never latched on. Happy you are on the mend.

I take that as an official (and super legally binding) recommendation to go at 40 acres with a flamethrower. JP - but one step closer maybe haha -- I have a friend whose dog is suffering Lyme disease right now, check your furries!

Robi -- Same. Until I lived here I thought it was mostly myth I remember going to so many camps and so many tick checks after just being a little dirty animal out in the forest all day. The ratio is about right see about 20 for every one that actually gets you. They are lousy out here the last 3 yrs "Its a real bad yr for ticks" -- Does that ever like change or?

Lol the funny thing is i grew up on a farm, this is nothing new to me and so is not having tick bite fever. Had that a few times too in my live. But normally its one or maybe 2 ticks that luch on. But cause i stationary laying on the floor/ground in the bush throughout the early hrs of the morning gave them crittters a field day on my back and the few places on thr back of my arms.

But the whole laying egg thing was a first for me and that actually got an allergic reaction causes hiw many bites there were.

But after strong meds, daily topical creams top ups and 3 sessions of cleaning the bites and wounds i actually scratched my skin broken a few places.

But overall im glad im over the worst of it, feeling better by the day and my stomach is also starting to relax..

Next year will try not to celebrate too much the last night.. yeah right.

Thanx for all who kept tabs amd checked in much love
