And boy are they thick as very this year.
I've pulled several off the dog and I have been covered up literally..! I'd say that I've removed about a dozen this weekend and what makes it so bad is that these are babies, no bigger than a pin head, hard to see, but just as irritating.
I have a spot on my belly that is two weeks old from a tick.
I mean they are bad this yr.
Now here is the main reason for posting....
Does anyone know a old time remedy or a solution to help remove ticks ?
Now I will say that this morning, after picking off about 3 or 4 ticks, I soaked in a tub of warm/hot water and Epsom salt. within 10 minutes I counted about 5 small ticks floating around dead. I'm not sure if was the salt or not, but it would be interesting to hear if this is one way to help rid these little suckers and if there is other solutions a person could use.
I guess its time to get the bug spray out as well as start eating garlic [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
