OK I know this may not be a huge deal to some but I get so sckeeved out. TICKS! Over this weekend alone I picked about 4 off my kids but last night alone I picked 2 outta my kids head. She was freaked I was freaked. Just take care to check your kids head before bed and also your pets. My dog has a bad habit of runnin right into bushes, and we found about 4 deer ticks on her last night. Time for the sprays and collars. This is my only downfall of spring TICKS.

Forget the collars and sprays! Get Frontline flea and tick monthly treatment. It IS pricier, but it works well. I have three dogs and a wooded yard and I would be picking them off me too if they weren't on Frontline.
Good luck with it!

Oh, I thought you were talking about the knee length XXXL white tees

Frontline and Off! Must buy when the temps get over 70. Got a stockpile at BJs last month.

And this is why you should donate to PACCA, not PETA:

In September, PETA made headlines in Vermont and across the nation for asking Ben & Jerry's ice cream to use human breast milk in their ice cream, instead of cow milk

DM, are they frolicking in Pennypack or is this from right at home?

The lawn cutting lady has the Lyme's disease, and without a doubt she says she got it mowing lawns right in Mayfair. Also my girlfriend had it last year, and she was SICK. The rash went all around her head like a sweatband. She never goes in woods. Hates the outdoors. She swears she got it out front.

Man, now I have to worry about this. Oh you must have freaked.

That's a great point to remember to examine the tick before you destroy it. The Lyme ticks are extremely small, but sometimes you dont even know you had a tick until you see a bullseye rash.
I got that rash on my leg while gardening in a non wooded yard. Fortunately, I got on the proper antibiotic as a precaution.
My calendar is marked throughout the year to give my pups thier Frontline and Heart Guard every 28th of the month.

WEll frontline is what we are doing we are just waiting on it. And as for the kids I am sweeping them with OFF and yes it was right out back. The first few we found we had an egg hunt Easter Sunday at my nephews home and he has a pond out back so that is how we found the few we had but the rest we were outback. I think I still may get the collars for the kids JK JK JK

Hah!! The kids might start a trend!

Don't be surprised if within a day or two of administering the Frontline if you see a few DEAD ticks lying around. Just means it's working.

I think this might be a useful read on ticks.
