I didn't read the whole thing, but under armour or a similar underlayment goes a long ways to keeping them off the majority of your body.  I brought a few home to bed with me and the wife was none to happy when we would be reading in bed and a tick would start crawling on her arm.   :chuckle:
Dreams are forever on the mind, realization in the hands.

I don't think my mom was planning on actually burning it, just heat it to get it to back away.  That was pretty standard 35+ years ago when this happened.   :chuckle: 

That's how my mother tended to a couple I ended up with on my scalp 15ish years ago as well. Even up to a few years ago in CPR and First Aid courses they would teach this as an acceptable method. These past two refreshers had been the first I had heard of burning being such a negative method.
I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.

Bluebulls takes them home and starts his own tick farm from what i heard.  :bdid:  That is why I strip down at the truck my friend. If you ever see a pale white guy in his skibs beside the road its just me doing a quick tick check. I have even done it on the hillside before. Quick strip down. Did I ever mention that I really dont like those things.
