Mosquitoes are really bad this year too. I was just up in Michigan and I was nearly eaten alive.

No wonder mortality rates were so high before they discovered Lyme disease.

At a site he monitors on Nantucket, Telford found twice the number of ticks last week as he did last year.

There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America.

“....ideal conditions for ticks to come out in the warm weather.”

Chalk up another one for Global Warming /s

Short of DDT, what area sprays could one hit their property with to cut down the tick population, hypothetically?

I know they do something like this up in Canada to keep the ticks from killing the moose population there. There must be something available on the market that could be sprayed into treelines and bushes to knock down the ticks.

Ideally, this would be a 1-2-3 effort, where the ticks are knocked down now, and then in 4-5 months, something else gets sprayed to destroy any eggs, and then next spring yet a third chemical gets put out just after snowmelt to kill any nymphs that might have survived the other two.

My sister caught Lyme Disease trail riding on her horse, two years ago. She thought it was not something to worry about. However, the Lyme, bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, did damage to her heart muscle control system. One heart chamber began pushing the blood out in an irregular manner causing blood cavitations. These blood cavitations eventually caused a blood clot in her brain, causing a lost of function in one side of her body. Luckily, she made it to the hospital soon enough to mitigate the damage. At 59 she has to walk with a cane. She no longer has her horse.

It’s too late.Those damn ticks are already out there.I took my dog for a walk and upon ending it I found three ticks on her and all we did was walk on the grass along the roads.

Check your dog immediately after there walk so you can catch those critters before they have a chance to hide.

Soviet Red Hampshire is LOADED with ticks this year...a judgement against people who support abortion and sodomite marriage, I suppose.

Already had Lyme Disease positive dogs this Summer. I rarely find the disease but it seems this Spring is different.

I friend of mine who spends a lot of time on Cape Cod in the summer, found a tick in her bed. She found a bull eye spot and then later, after she came back to Houston she became extremely sick with fever, terrible pain and swelling in her knees.

Yes, all the signs but she was tested and she did not have Lyme disease. I would have insisted that my doctor treat me as if I had it, but she would not do that. I think she was in denial and the blood test was all she needed to continue denying it.

Somebody will blame this on Global Warming (TM), as sure as I’m sitting here.

I believe for the first time ever, last week, I saw a deer tick.

And it was stuck on ME!

Luckily, I think it just started - I thought it was a tiny speck of dirt until I had to pick it away, and saw LEGS!

So here in MD, yes, I had a deer tick and am watching the site.
