Recommended Posts


WTG Oneguy! Hopefully the tick population was decimated by the cold weather this winter...I could do without the little blighters.

Me too I hate ticks. I got one dug into the middle of my back and had to have a friend burn it  outwith a cigarette while detecting on the Scott River in Northern California. Instant pain relief when it backed out. Way to go Scott, your skunk is broken. Glad to see you found some gold in another spot  I mentioned to you.

From what I see up here in Idaho & Wyoming, cold weather has no impact on ticks. Many of them even at elevations above 7,000', where it gets way below zero. One of 'em in Wyoming got me a few years ago, and I ended up with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Now I treat all my outdoor clothing with Permethrin, and my skin with Picaridin. Tick diseases are really nasty.
