Not surprising at all!!!
Whow!!! That is really something!! I know that pigs are the catalyst for flu.....from pig to human, but do not know the relationship, or connection to humans with Ticks( Bp). Mice are the host carriers for Bp. Not deer which is commonly printed. Deer are just another animal Ticks use to get to their reproductive stage! Pigs could be also! From what I read pig meat should be OK to eat just like deer meat ....if cooked properly!War on ticks, mosquitoes, stinging scorpions and fleas.
I have to use several tactics with care to fight off ticks, fleas, scorpins, mosquitos, rats, mice in my neck of the woods.
Bifen IT, Tick granules for the yard dispersed with a seeder, (seeder disperses in a pattern and saves many pounds of granules), Permethrin on clothes, Seresto collar on dogs, Frontline on cats, cats for rats/mice, thermacell during hot weather deer hunting.
I shot a 300 lb fat feral Boar hog few days ago and could not believe the amount of ticks on that animal.
The animal really looked clean and not wearing any mud like some hogs until I got closer and seen all the attached ticks. Most of the ticks were medium sized. Almost all of the ticks seemed to be not getting any blood, just stuck on that animal for the ride or hitch hiking. A few ticks on his head were swelled with blood, but the ones on the body were not getting much blood. That animal had to be carrying all kinds of tick borne diseases with so many ticks attached.
and guess where lymes came from?? lyme, conneticut...just on land, next to the damn island,, where all this came from.. jesse ventura did a exposy on this damn island,, some time ago.. same "doctors" of Nazi Germany,, making this biologic warfare....and now its spreading thru all the states.......gov trying to kill us off???

Not your fault! Old underlineing resentments never resolved!
I'm immune to them I think , I been bitten so many times now and had Lyme already. but treat your clothing in grassy or wooded areas.
LW.....remember the guy that's been bitten he said 300-500 times. He must be immune! Very interesting!!! I have seen where some snake handlers are immune after being bitten countless times!
There are scientific studies saying you can be immune to a particular strain.
Nor do I. I'll pass.
Same here, except for the Deer Tick. Never had one of them on me yet. But the Lone Star is quite common here on the Ranch, as is the Dog Tick.
