Flea and ticks

Post by Sir Henry » Tue Jun 02, 2026 2:20 pm

I have found multiple ticks on me and one was half into me. I did some research on the flea and tick powder for dogs and cats and determined they are safe to use on my clothing. Lyme disease is real here and is far worse than the powder.

Ticks are disgusting parasites. I hate them.

We have them at my place. Copper takes medication for them and I wear proper clothing. They are nasty and very plentiful this year.

The small black ticks here carry Lyme disease. And I’m not just talking a small percentage. Many long time residents have told me they have gotten it at some time or another.
