you mean you didn't feel that thing crawling on you?

Put olive oil on it. The tick beathes through its butt. After 10-15 mins it will pluck right out. Or, use Dawn liquid dishwashing soap. It works the same as olive oil but has a disinfectant quality. Either works.

Eat a lot of spicy food soon your blood becomes toxic from all the capsaicin and the tick, flea, chiggers and bedbug will want nothing to do with you. In the mean time +1 to dawn.

learned something new today...always thought it was the smell of the kimchi, not the peppers in it.

Use tweezers, apply medicine. I get them everyday of work in the woods. Ticks have not been my friend, but i hate chiggers far worse.

Back in august 2009 I got a strain of tick fever known as Ehrlichiosis that whacked me for over a week. It was like having the flu, stomach virus and giardiasis all at once.
Currently I'm fighting a tick bite on my right ankle that turned into a vascular ulcer. It has never fully healed in over a year.

Why do you think there is no lyme disease in the Caribbean? Oddly I have never been bothered by pest when in the woods only once and that was swimmers itch so it don't count.

I hate ticks. We never used to have them here.  Seen my first one 5 years ago, now it's a routine with my dogs when I get home from work. They come up and roll over for the tick check. And no, you don't usually feel them crawling on you at first. At least it's a short season here, usually find the first ones middle of may and by the middle of July they are gone.

Don't run naked through the woods and you won't get a tick bite on your ass.

Be a man and burn it off.

Try bengay or icyhot, with a q/tip AROUND the tick.. Not ON the tick..
Poisons the taste of your blood.. They don't like that!

The worst kinds are the blue ones, they're nigh-invulnerable!
