Are ticks really that much of a concern? I always thought that if you go /out/ enough it's inevitable you'll get bitten by one. If you get bit by enough, then you've gotta develop some kind of immunity to whatever diseases they carry? Kind of like with mosquitoes, get bitten by enough of them and eventually their bites get less effective? Or is this just bro-science? I coated my poncho and backpack with Permethrin just in case.

Don't get me started; last year I had one right below my dick, this fucking tick tried to suck my dick without my consent. It was a real challenge to pull the little fucker out without getting his head stuck in my nuts.

What kind of stupid measurement system so frequently flips between positive and negative. Celsius is dumb.

I recommend giving your good boy or girl a Serestro flea collar. My dog had a seizure once so he couldn't use Revolution and other flea / tick drops, but this thing worked just fine and he never had health problems from wearing it.

Also, be sure to treat all of your cloth outdoor gear, including boots and hiking pants with permethrin every couple of months. They will burn and die when they touch it. And always brake for opossums.

I camped in Missouri for the first time recently and got to find out what seed ticks are. Amazing summer, but I will never ever go back to Missouri.

Do like the austrians and get a TBE vax. I did it and it's not that expensive and last 5 years or so. Never safe from lyme tho.

It is not that dangerus if you just check yourself daily. It is more of a concern if that stay on you for more than 24 hours. I usally get 5-10 from a small walk in the woods by my house since we have a shit-ton of deer here. I even get them while mowing the lawn aswell. I just pluck them off using my fingers and sometimes with tweezers if it is a small one.

FYI Lyme disease was invented by the CIA to fearmonger and keep people indoors where they can be controlled. If you let the ticks win, you let the CIA win. If you let the CIA win, then throw away freedom for security and convert to communism.

Anybody have good results with human preventative beyond clothes and avoiding going outside? I'm a phone jocky at a vet clinic and we have been seeing a lot of cases of lymes and a few ehrlichia here. (NE USA) This summer I intend to get off my fat ass and get /out/ more but it has got me a little paranoid.

Last summer, I got Lyme despite treating my pants, socks and boots in permethrin every few months. The damn tick got me in a hidden spot that I didn't check. My antibody reading was 4x over the threshold for being positive. I didn't catch it until symptoms worsened (Lyme arthritis was the worst symptom) so I tested positive for most of the IgG bands. A month of doxycycline cured the arthritis despite starting the treatment late. However, I'm still experiencing gut health issues from the antibiotics. Increasing my probiotic intake has only somewhat mitigated the damage.
Now, winter is my hiking and camping season and that'll be wrapping up soon. I'll be doing lower-risk /out/, /xs/ and /fit/ activities between April and November unless I vacation in (or move to) another region where Lyme isn't a concern.

The same link says that there may be minor reactions to the vax, just like all vaxinations, just feeling a bit under the weather for a few days.

Oh I got that on a chance after a bite showed sign of infection and it cured a totally different cronic infection.
