+mdplayers Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I think I've walked into one or two of those over the years. I've come out of the woods covered in ticks. I've resorted to using a lint roller to remove them all. Oh... Eeeewwwww! Quote Link to comment
+TerraViators Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 My wife pulled one from my back last Saturday. My last tromp in the sticks was 7 days prior. Wow! It was dug in about half way to my left lung...like pulling a swallowed treble hook from a big ol' channel cat's mouth. Quote Link to comment

+rdtorres3 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Since I've started geocaching I've been on two rounds of antibiotics for tick bites. Seems i'm allergic to the rascals, even to the point of an asthma attack for one embedded in my back. Now, my wife won't let me go in the woods unless I promise to apply some repellant, which makes sense (don't tell her I said that). Hiking, and especially bushwhaching, means you will pick up a few. Nasty buggers. I read that they are of the spider family. Oh well, cache on! Quote Link to comment
+etphoneme2plz Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Gross...... Don't think I wanna go in the woods anymore lol. Did manage (Me & my daughter) to get a nasty case of chiggers last month doing caches in a field.... That was no fun.... Quote Link to comment
+St.Matthew Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I had one in my neck yesterday. Thank goodness for a Tick Key. They're so easy to use and chemical free. Quote Link to comment
