TICKS
|
My last topic about radios caused some tension in the forum today so i thought i would put up something a little less loaded. IS ANYONE ELSE GETTING EATEN BY TICKS IN BCC??? And REALLY whats the best way to get them out. (tried burning-didnt work) |
|
They are out in LCC also. |
|
Thanks dude. Sorry for the heated discussion on my other page. sensitive subject. |
|
It is a good thing if a bit of skin is still attached to the tick when you pull it out. It means that the head is still attached to the tick and not left in your skin. |
|
Yeah, I wasn't complaining about the attached skin at the time! The little bastard was still crawling around looking for a new meal after he got pulled off too. I figured why not let him die happy, so I stuck him in a shot glass full of vodka. |

John, |

I have been getting them in clear creek. I found three crawling on me two weekend ago, one got me on tues and one crawling on me on tues. Those fuckers. best way already written tweezers and pull gently till they let go then wash the area and hands to lower chances of infection. Those @$#!%&@ ticks!!!! |

Next time... only maybe with tequila or whisky since I don't like vodka. I guess you can't call yourself a hardman until you've slammed a shot with a tick in it. You know what's funny, last season in the Wasatch I didn't see a single tick, but now I've already seen several, and had that one attach itself to me and my friend got another one too. Maybe I was just lucky last season, or maybe there are a lot this year. |

I'm with ya, I didn't see many at all last year, but this year a buddy of mine has already had to take one off as well. Crappy. Guess now is the time to stick to more traveled areas and stay away from bushwhacking. Oops.... too late. |
