when i lived in va there were a lot...bug spray w/deet worked pretty well. there aren’t so many down here for some reason.Last year up here in Maine we started to see a good amount of ticks in the woods. Nothing to crazy, but enough that you would give yourself a good tick check after any activity in the woods. This year is not the case. I have been finding them on me after every ride recently. I found one yesterday that was the size of a speck of dirt. This is a new problem for us, but I know a lot of you have been dealing with this crap for years now. What is the best way to deal with them? Not riding bikes in the woods is not an option.

I won't slather myself with chemicals, so I remove them when I find them walking on me. I get maybe two bites a year, find that it's immediately noticeable, painful itch, just remove them.Last year up here in Maine we started to see a good amount of ticks in the woods.

he is a good friend.Mornin!
Ended up going to dinner with a friend last night. He ordered a bucket of beers for the table. Of 2 of us. Today I have the death farts again. I'm beginning to think beer isn't in the best interest of my digestive system.
I know, just in a bit of a hurry right now.wrong forum dude.
Fuck, i woke up thinking it was Wednesday...Good morning!! Fuck ya its tuesday.
Ive seen a few already this year.On the way to the aeropuerto for a conference in San Fran.
Oh - and easiest way to solve the tick problem: move west. I remember getting one in the sagebrush on my CT thru-hike back in '94... or was it '95?![]()
You guys don't have those big mf'ing pads on your tables??Haley for some reason felt that she should write her friend's name on the table last night. In pen. At etching pressure. I damn near threw her through the window. I rarely ever lose my temper and that was one of those occasions, which I think scared the shit out of her. I do feel bad about it, but dammit, that is a fucking expensive table.
Otherwise, here. M should be done today, so I'll probably get it tomorrow.
U brought them with u from TN, didn't you? Fuckin furriners...Ive seen a few already this year.
Unless you mean further west. None in Nevada.
