Ticks
DanaM:
I'll check the local Wally World next time I'm there, if they have it I'll pick ya a can up eh.
So what happens if ya use it like after shave ??? 3 eyes or an extra limb either way sounds like it would be useful ;) :D :o
Diligence:
Lombard has it right....just gently pull them out. All the other "cures" just make them puke their stomach contents into you, which caused the inflammation and infections.....at least that's what I have been taught.
I hate ticks.

Our WalMart has it. Dana, a friend's Dad is an entomologist and did the studies on Permanone(the active ingredient in it) and said their main problem was getting it weak enough and a safe method of use so it would still kill the ticks, chiggers, etc and not harm humans.
If you hang your cloths on the cloths line and spray them down well, let them dry for 15 to 20 minutes you can wear them safely. Since I started using Permanone I've never had a tick when I used it. The effects will last on your cloths for quite a few days and even through a light washing. You could treat all your cloths before you come to the Classic and not worry about it while there.
Dane, keep an eye on your tick bites. If they start getting a bulls eye redness about them go to your doctor. The North and North East has a pretty bad Lymes disease problem.

I can buy all I want at the feed store. We can get in in Gallon containers and mix it ourselves and put it in spray bottles. I found two cans when I was in Texas, but used one up at Pappy's last week.
