!@#$% Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I thought i might've had lyme. turned out to be palindromic rheumatism and that took years to figure out. anyway ticks suck. i'm more concerned about them on my dogs than anything. and yeah, lyme doesn't always cause bulls eye rash so that wouldn't rule it out. there is an actual test for it now so you can just go to the doc treatment however, is another story unless you know you have it and get antibiotics immediately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hiked up and down a mountain today. Went to the bar after and felt creepy crawly, found a brown tick on me, fucker. At least he hadn't bit me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Incognito Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Never gotten bit or had a tick on me that I know of. Kinda surprising cus I'm constantly in the woods, hiking/fishing...although typically I'm covered up, besides my face/arms. Definitely give myself a quick check though after every trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~KRYLON2~ Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I was working a job moving some section 8 peoples to another unit in the building. I did the walkthrough and noticed small brown spots on the mattresses which is a sign of bed bugs. well I boogied out of there with my crew. they sent some other poor bastards to do the job and gave them hazmat suits to keep the bugs off. but now these nasty fuckers are just going to infect another unit in the building. that didn't make any sense to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Said it before & will say it again- Permethrin motherfuckers. Not one tick this year since using it. Wiki it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Fuck, 1st tick of the year, got me pretty good as I felt it since last night. Woke up & was thinking where did I hit my leg yesterday that it feels bruised, looked- a tick. Fucker. Was going to break out the Permethrin this week to treat my clothing, guess this just gave me the motivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Getting ready to apply it now. Fucking leg has a little black/blue spot and itches all around it. Luckily, no bullseye rash. Tell me how you like it but I think you'll be happy. I noticed it kept the mosquitos away too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scv Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Fuck the north east and their pin head sized ticks.. Wood ticks are at least sizable, waking up with 6 small black dots sucking blood from your body just gives me another excuse to sit and drink inside, stay out of anywhere that isn't concrete and rebar.

LUGR Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Just got over a case of creeping eruption. Had a worm in between the inner and outer layers of skin wormin around my knee. Over a 3 week period it made its way 1 full rotation around my knee with a short detour up my thigh and itched really bad (mainly at night). After the 2nd week I was tired of it itching so took meds that made me feel really shitty for about 5 days. 3 days after taking meds it made it s last move and cleared up. 2 days after that got my strength back from the meds. Had never heard of this before. 'Hookworm eggs are shed in infected dog (or other animal) feces to the ground, where they then develop over a period of 1–2 weeks into the infectious larval form (filariform larvae). The filariform larvae can burrow through intact skin that comes into contact with soil or sand that is contaminated with feces. Although they are able to infect the deeper tissues of animals (through to the lungs and then the intestinal tract), humans are incidental hosts and the larvae are only able to penetrate the upper dermis of the skin and thus create the typical wormlike burrows visible underneath the skin. These parasites apparently lack the collagenase enzymes required to penetrate through the basement membrane deeper into the skin.' "The infection causes a red, intensely pruritic (itchy) eruption. The itching can become very painful and if scratched may allow a secondary bacterial infection to develop. Cutaneous larva migrans usually heals spontaneously over weeks to months and has been known to last as long as one year. However, the severity of the symptoms usually causes those infected to seek medical treatment before spontaneous resolution occurs. Following proper treatment, migration of the larvae within the skin is halted and relief of the associated itching can occur in less than 48 hours" Looks something like this: Do not recommend...

One Man Banned Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Can't let coronavirus make you forget about the dangers that already existed. Ticks are back in full swing. Had to crash through brush and undergrowth the other day and walked out w/ numerous ticks on me, black legged, deer, some pin head size. Anyhows if you're avoiding corona by going for a hike beware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty_habiT Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Ticks are creepy af when you consider they are related to spiders. It's like a fuckin spider that doesn't just bite you with fangs and escape.... it wants to LIVE with you. Like a socialist, just give me this free food, I'm hanging out with you aren't I? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 They carry all sorts of fucked up diseases and bacteria and shit too. I was lucky to get two out of my skin, they were only there for about 2 hours so they didn't fully embed or get to suck blood, but it was enough to irritate the skin and bump like a mosquito bite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty_habiT Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I heard from some folks in Uvalde, TX that the ticks this season are TINY. That's what's kinda scary IMO. Larger ticks are easy to find/feel/pick off. I was told they're tiny like the head of a bic pen or slightly smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 @Dirty_habiTthat sounds like the deer tick, can carry Lyme Disease. Had one of those on me when I got home too but had not bit me yet. Overlooked the first time, caught it on a double check. I should use some of this chill time to re-treat my shit for spring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morton Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I only recently moved to a part of the country where tics are common and I am a little skeezed out by them. A friend recommended this company https://www.insectshield.com/Default.aspx I am thinking about buying a pair of gaiters and having them treated.
