Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever

"I suffered with Lyme disease for years." - Glenn

"I yanked one tick out of my head. Then every tickle gave me great alarm for the next two hours." - Marti McGinnis

"You will be feeling phantom ticks for ages." - Karen Luig Lyle

"Ticks are nearly indestructible, so I cut their heads off with scissors!" - Jen Warner

"If I find ticks outside, I like to take a rock and smash and smoosh until there is nothing left of the nasty bloodsucking, disease carrying little bugs. Where I live, there are many pine trees. Thank god we've only had to deal with them on the dogs. Once i've found one, I can't sleep well because I have the creepy crawler syndrome. oh how i hate those things! If you have a dog, check thoroughly. Sometimes they are very tiny. it only takes a day or two for them to be noticeable after they start feeding. and they hide anywhere and everywhere. tall grass, pine trees. If they get in the house, check walls and baseboards. Try to keep an all natural tick spray on hand to spray the perimeters. Diatomaceous earth is not harmful to pets. Use it around the dog yard and around the outside of the house." - Shannon Renee - 642
