Default Be Aware "it's Tick Season"

I was just reading a post from another Forum... Talking about Being in Tick Season....

Thought that I would spread the word here as-well !!!! Just make sure you guy's & Girls use a Tick spray and Constantly keep checking yourself and Check your Buddy !!!!


Secrets of the Iron Brigade Revealed.

This Post is NO JOKE !!!!!!!!!!!

I was just informed last week that my 6 yr old nephew was Diagnosed with Lyme Disease.....

My sister found a Tick on his Scalp 3 weeks ago... Then my lil buddy wasn't feeling so hot for a few days.... He was seen by the Dr.. and was informed of the Tick bite

They ran a few tests... And it turns out Positive for Lyme Disease......

Thank God this was Caught Immediately..... he's now on a 21 cycle of Antibiotics...... But this is something that sticks with you for LIFE........

There was not Tell-Tale sign of the Bulls-Eye rash that occurs in some people......


Please Everyone Be Aware.......

My nephew lives in Minnesota...... and Deer frequent their yard on a daily basis.........

I love Snakes! They kill and eat Vermin. The rattle snakes are most tasty dried and smoked or cooked like fish.

Permethrin! Is safe to put on your animals, Dogs, and stuff. Don't use it on cats! They clean them selves more then dogs and may ingest to much. Spray your pant legs, shoes and shirt with it. Bugs be Gone! Hat too!

When I camp out, I spray the tint, and bedding. Hang a rag soaked in it above your place to eat.

Mosquitoes don't much like it!
