Bishalon said: Yeah, it sucks. What I hate is that because we use flea and tick repellents for dogs, they don't actually attach to dogs. Ticks are hitchhikers. They enter our house on our dogs, and then attach themselves to me and the children. This is one of the reasons why we started spraying our yard. I once had a reaction to a tick, even though it had been on me for less than 24 hours, which required me to switch to steroids to fight - the spot behind my knee swelled up, turned purple, and itched horribly. Even 6 months after treatment, it still itched, even though I was on antihistamines. My husband had a similar reaction. We both tested the dog twice, and each time it was negative. The doctor said you hear a lot about ticks and Lyme disease, but ticks carry a lot of unpleasant things. He advised us to protect the dog and read the large selection of flea collars for dogs and it really helped.

With you on that one. One person said that as well and for someone who goes on long hikes and camps, I hate them. Stinging gnats as well and horsefly stings hurt as shit. Would rather take a hornets sting and once I had enough of them where my hand swelled up to a size I didn't believe possible, but didn't hurt all that much. Maybe the adrenaline of running from the swarm.
Am jibberjabbering. Year of Covid and no 25 days in nature and away from society and on the PCT. Last three years, section hiking. Good thing about high elevations, no mosquitos.
Had a few ticks once when young. Someone in the know just burned them out. Just the possible diseases I worry about with both. 3rd world countries, wow.
