I have been coming to the area for 47 years and have been living here for over 20 of those years.
In the last two years I have had two deer ticks on me, with one imbedded in my stomach just
a few weeks ago. Thankfully I got him before he fed on my to long and no sign of any issues.
As a kid I ran all over these mountains and never even had a thought about a tick, and we never even heard of a deer tick
back in those days. Well sadly those days are over as they are here. My butcher conveyed that his dog got a deer tick bite last year and came down with some form of lyme disease.
So my PSA is to do the tick check.

I used to have a bird feeder in my yard. I stopped a few years ago because of what they might be carryingif you have mammals and birds you have ticks

First night in a shelter with 6 guys so, no, no foreplay😬I believe it takes 24 hours for lyme to "set in." thus finding them the first night ( mutual foreplay ?) is paramount.

if you find a tick on you using your finger nails pinch it at the head as close to your skin as you can get it the pinch and pull strate out
as long as the tick dose not regurgitate you should not get any limes

if you have a tick on you do NOT put any thing on it so it will back out this is how you would get lime

Odd in that I was told the exact opposite. I was to told to cover the tick with something like vaseline or a thick liquid soap in order to cut off the ticks oxygen which in turn causes them to back out. They said not to attempt to pull the tick out as the odds are that you will cut the head off thus the tick is more likely to regurgitate.

Get a set of tick pullers http://www.amazon.co...lies/2975390011 which are designed to remove the tick without squeezing the head or body.

Papabear is right, although I'd recommend tweezers instead of fingers so you can get a better grip by the head. Grab at the head and pull straight.

Negative. Grab BELOW the head. Thats what the tick pullers do.
