Ticks

[kp3004x4]

Just to holler out there.  Came down with rocky mountain spotted fever,came from a little tick. Not anything to joke about within one year I'm messed up ,have nerve damage and probably lung and heart. And have this because of a tick ,drs say nothing they can do about it as I already have the antibodies inside the damaged is done.  Just thought I'd put this out there.  When you go into the woods cover up and spray deet onto yourself.  You don't want this. I promise you ,they say it almost killed me.

Wow, thanks for posting and hopefully you'll be ok. Ticks are nasty and yes nothing to joke about.

Ticks are no joke!  I would recommend using permethrin to help avoid them.  Treat your cloths not your body. Soak your riding gear in it and let it dry. It’s good for a few weeks or a few washes. Only thing I’ve found that actually seems to work.

Agreed, I have known so many people that were very sick from tick bites, took a year to get over it and still having trouble.

Not for me the damaged nerves are nothing to joke about. Y'all stay safe out there
