More Developments
One bite on the side of my neck refused to go away for almost four weeks and formed a knot under the skin. For awhile, I thought it was a cyst. Then yesterday another one got the other side of my neck while splitting logs. The barmaid saw it and pulled it off with its head attached. I gave her an extra $5 double-duty tip for serving as a nurse.
I've now got the dog protected with Front Line, a Wal-Mart special that's working very well. I wish they made something for humans that works just as well. Ticks laugh at Off, Deet, or both. I'm ready to buy a large Flea and Tick dog collar and wear that while processing firewood. Anybody tried that yet?
I've had three more attack me since I started this post and the dog picked up a pair. They are really bad this year. Some say it's because of the heavy spring rains.They were bad here when it started getting warmer, but i haven't had one on me in a while. I did put granules out though.
