Tic's and Lyme!!

[Sheldon]

It's that time of the year in many parts of the country so BEWARE!!!
You do not have to live in the country to get a tic... but if you have Ginnie hens, they love to hunt and eat them... Watch the video...

~7~ SEVEN LYME FACTS THAT COULD HAVE SAVED ME!!!

Sheldon, sorry to hear you have this bug. I spent 18 months on IV Rocephin as a result of Lyme disease. It affected my ability to work, function, walk... everything. The disease worsens on a 28-day cycle. Massive amounts of antibiotics were administered but had no result after the first few months... the long-term treatment didn't change anything. I've re-infected a couple of times and treated the disease each time. This bug is nothing to fool with.

I gave an endowment through the United Way so one organization could develop an informative website. It was the result of the work of some pretty smart scientists studying the disease. Check out the web for some pretty good info... Stop Ticks on People, providing safe environmental solutions to tick control

Ticks and lyme disease are taking over the East Coast.

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever has already taken over the intermountains.

Only the West Coast is still pristine and clean of these pests and disease, but we have to worry about fleas and plague out here.

No paradise is without its downside.

In tick country you need to tuck your trousers into your hiking socks, never wear shorts (ouch!), change your clothes every day, and do a mutual close inspection of all your hard to see body parts (scalp, rump creases, back, etc.) before bedding down. No choice.

The unusually warm winter this year seems to have give the little b@#^+rds a good head start this year. Locally they say the population is about doudle the normal.
And guniea hens will hunt them down and keep your property pretty safe tick wise. I use a permathen spray any time I'm in the fields or woods. They crawl on the treated fabric and they die.

Reach around and pat yourself on the back for me.... but I do not have Lyme it is just the name of the you tube video...
I did however in 2002 get a mosquito bite that put me in the hospital for two weeks and killed my thyroid and that is a very long story....
