Just want to make everyone aware of the potential to get some diseases from TICKS!.
Here is a link to TICKS and Please read it so that you don't end up with a DISEASE that can alter your life.
I have had a friend that for many years was sick and after 10 years they diagnosed him with Lyme Disease. This was almost 20 years ago and now medical profession has many types of treatments. My friend was very unlucky and suffered for years.
Today there are treatments and antibiotics to help out when first infected.
Quick story. I recently put up another acre of fencing for our goats and Great Pureness puppy. It was about 1,000 feet of fencing in the woods. Well I had several bug bites and was itching for several days. I also put up a small above-ground Pool 7' X 13' X 34" for us to cool off in and for the pup to swim.
Well Jill and I went into the pool this weekend, Jill saw a "Black Spot" on my back. (I could not see it or touch it due to the location in the middle of my back). Jill took a picture of it and looked on the internet. Looked exactly like Nodular Melanoma.
It was like a "Black Mole". Scared the HELL out of me. I had to wait for the weekend to be over and on Monday I went to my DR. He looked at it and thought it was a "SKIN TAG" when he went to try to remove it with tweasers "IT MOVED" and he saw legs come out. He knew then that it was a "TICK".
At first look - it looked like a Skin MOLE.
Good thing that I didn't have Melanoma, but could be infected from the Tick with several other Diseases.
Took him over 15 minutes to get the TICK to let go so that the Tick's Head would not be stuck in my skin. He tried Alcohol then ICE and finally it released.
He gave me a weeks' worth of antibiotics "DOXYCYCLINE HYCLATE" that covers Lyme and several Tick Diseases. If you get a Tick, see you DR. For the Proper Medications. Don't wait! If the TICK was impeded in you skin, take a high res picture of it and the area you are living in.
If you have a TICK impeded in your skin try this to remove it. But also consult with you Dr.
Also look at other options from the Medical Profession-Don't just look for old home remedies-(but they may work best)
Just want everyone to be aware. When in the woods wear pants and long sleeve shirts and insect repellent. When coming out of the woods remove your clothes and check your body for Ticks/Insects. Some Ticks can be very small.
I hunted in NY several years ago and was the end of November. We took the deer off of the hanging poles and put into our trucks. My friend was complaining of "Itching" while driving back to PA. We stopped and he had several dozen Ticks running all over his head, neck, back. He got them from handling the deer.
