You'ved just found a Tick crawling on you......!
"YeeePer's" Well, you have opions.


Should I Flick-My-Tick....? ( NO )
Flicking Yr Tick, will alow him to find a new Shiny-New-Car, and try and Suck the Life Out of Him,ot Her,or a Pet.......!

Should I Give Him-a-Flushy........? ( NO )
Flushing a Tick, down the toilet, or drain is not a good choice either ! Tick's have been know'en to be crawling out of the waste-tank, at water treatment plant's.

Should I "Burn-His-A*S , with the grill ligther.....? ( Maby )It would be ok to do that. But then you have to make sure he "PoP's. Other wise he just may not be dead.

You'ed hate to Burn that Little-Sucker, just to find out you now have a burn mark on the counter-top.

Should I trap him in a jar, and send him in to be tested, if it was hooked on ya.......? ( Maby )

Well you can, if you have a lot of money to throw away. Ins. Co. dont pay for the test.

Should I Trap him between Scotch-Tape.....?
( YES ) ! If you take a 2" piece of tape, and stick him, then folding the tape over

and making sure he is sealed good, by pressing down between yr fingers, he's thAre for good...!

Should I Trap him in "Duck-Tape" ( Musicains Best Friend )( YES-YES-YES ),EVAN BETTER ! With duck tape, he will neaver get out of it. And Good-Ridden's to that "Creepy Little Bugger"

Should I Put on a show in the IGA, like the girl in front of Dar did.........? SURE, You'll put on one hell of a show, for every one that was thAre at that time. ( I DARE-YA ! )

Im sure you will be the topic, at a lot of supper tables,that night too.

Should I Take 10-20 day's, 2-3 Month's of Doxy...........? ( YES I WOULD )
I would, unless you want to play R-Rulett, or Chicken,and wait and see if he had any bad stuff in his intestines.

If he was hooked on,or had bit ya and left a mark. I'ed rather BE safe, that Wondering, IF IM SAFE...........!

This is only the Opion of Texas Dar ! Cant be a Doctor, becouse I have No Patience's......! Cant know what im talking about, I Have Lyme's Out !

Dar, I hope that was just another GREAT piece of journalism....and that you DIDN'T just get bit again????

I agree with Betty.....3-4 mo of doxy at 400mg a day would be what I would do if it was ME.

I was out side 6 weeks ago building a bunny-house in the back yard for 2 1/2 hrs.

and came in and found one tick on my leg just got himself hooked on,and the other under my waist ban on my short's not hooked on.

Ann gave it a tug, and off he came. Barely a mark. Next day, getting red and swollen.

That's the one that was 2 1/2 in. around. Scab's almost gone. That time I used up all my Doxy.

Time to call Brian, and get 8 week's supply again, for the next tick. Have Dar's Toy Story 2 almost done.

And am going to post a piece on Can You Get Lyme's From a.......?

How am I doing so far....? I think I have this space-thing down, I hope.

Have a long way to go, catching up with "The Queen of Lyme Net, thoe. Do ya get a big crown when ya hit 1 Million-Post's thAre Tu Tu....? Texas Dar OuT ! [Razz]
