Winter was so mild this is going to be a doozy of a tick season. Had an embedded tick a few days ago. Now there is a perfectly circular red patch around the bite site. Doxycycline is like a charm, will clear it up but they want to see me before prescribing. I'm off to the health center in a few minutes.Be careful out there.

It's Tick Season

I guess there are some good things about still being buried in a couple feet of snow.
Not sure if I agree with you on this. I'd much rather apply a flea / tick treatment than shovel snow.
But if it comes between picking a tick off of ME, I will take the snow.Not sure if I agree with you on this. I'd much rather apply a flea / tick treatment than shovel snow.

There were still some scraps of the little black deer tick left in me. Which the doctor took out. Baccitractin, band aide. And I have a one time dose of two 100 mg tablets of doxycycline to take simultaneously and together with lots of water a minimum of 2 hours before or after calcium / iron / zinc. Bedtime looks suitable to me.

Oh yes, I've already pulled several off. There's not much to be done about it, as my dog needs to go hiking, but thankfully tick-borne diseases aren't super common where I'm at. Small favors, I guess.
