I found a tick on my arm last night. Unattached, thank goodness. Two of our dogs were in the woods last week end, where we regularly have deer coming in.
That’s a good reason not to have a lawn. I wonder how many of that type of injury happens every year?<<<
Far more than we realize.
With the new ride on mowers, there are so many who manage to kill themselves, by allowing it roll over on top of them.
When I learned to drive a tractor, pulling knives or harrows, I was about 12 and worked with my own tractor the full day, my dad never realized that I was a girl.
The real danger was turning to start the next row and having what you were pulling tilt and come down on you.
I remember Luke Bevels, giving my dad holy hell, for rigging such a wide set of equipment behind a beginner.
I survived.
We have a real tick problem here, I have seen dogs that you could not touch, without finding a tick.
And they get in the house.
If you have tick or bug problems, get a flock of Guinea hens, they will patrol the yard and eat anything that moves.
