Found two ticks inside my house this week

Nope. I'm pulling them off or catching them walking on me on a daily basis, practically. I'm in treatment, and my nerves can't afford getting more worked up about them.

Truly a modern day plague. Sucks all the fun out of optimism, doesn't it?

I know what you mean. I've come to appreciate my wood picnic table out under my largest oak tree.
The ticks do find me perched on that thing. They probably drop out of the tree.

But the glorious peace and calmness I feel out sitting on top of it, birds chirping, breeze blowing; after being surrounded by electronics for hours on end....my desk top computer, tv to my left, electrical panel box behind me, fan and oxygen concentrator not far away, electric light overhead.....I'm a walking EMF sponge in here while I work.

Psilo, curiosity question. Do you have pets?

Lol don't even get me started on Zika. What a joke. 35 cases in the first year and everyone's freaking out. Acknowledgement that it can cause chronic issues etc....

And yeah I have two dogs and a cat. Probably explains why i found one on my leg. Still doesn't explain the one on the countertop as dirty dishes are situated specifically to keep the pets out lol. I can't control the cat but she never really goes there

Satan tickbite dude i still haven't gotten rid of the first infection lol. In fact i'm so sensitive to near everything i take i'm practically microdosing knotweed to stave off intolerable herxheimers. Maybe one day i'll add in astragalus but i'm not quite there yet.

July i agree. All these electronics are sapping my soul. My new property has no cell service. It is such a strange feeling. A few hours there i feel like i've been detached from humanity but suddenly reattached to the world itself. My gf is adamant about getting satellite and i'm just like "nooo don't ruin this pristine place". I'm a total internet junky it's bad. I was watching a show about amazonian tribes hunting yesterday. I don't want to romanticize it because it looked brutal but i couldn't help admiring how in touch they were with everything and capable of doing all sorts of crazy stuff without electricity. Their dead monkey got stuck in a tree so the guy just threw some vine on his feet and climbed 100 feet straight up and across another vine to a higher tree to get the monkey half naked. And he was well into his late 50's early 60's.wasn't even out of breath. And here i am huffing and puffing at 24 walking around my meager 5 acres with my pants tucked into my shoes wondering if the water will give me leptospirosis and not having a clue what plants are edible or how to even cook without propane

Oh Psil! That actually made me laugh. I'm sorry. I don't have cell service out here either, but I have a landline which is kept unplugged most of the time. One call today and it was some bill collector looking for my daughter who hasn't lived here for 17 years. I don't need to break my neck getting to a call like that, so I pulled the plug.


It's easy to learn how to build a small good wood fire to cook on, if you can stand the smoke, which I cannot, anymore. I sure miss the days of coming home from a weekend of camping and my clothes smelling of acrid wood smoke. I seriously do.

I guess you have to learn to eat raw......
Ick.

Wild berries will be ripening within the next 2 months, depending on your climate zone. Mushrooms are about done as far a morels. That's about the limit of my wild experimentation. I'm not that wild about greens.

Hang in there. And you sound like you could use more detoxing effort. Maybe?

I want out of here! Im in tick central! Thinking of selling my RV for treatment money but heck it may be my home!

Well, I was going to write "that sucks" and realized that was a bad pun. Then I was going to write "that bites" and also realized that was another bad pun.

Well, I'm ticked off....(you forgot one 1000Daisies)

my son went to a farm in Chester, NJ and he came home with a tick attached to his right leg under his pants and socks close to his ankle bone as well as another on his scalp and a 3rd attached right next to his right testicle.

these little suckers are very adept at getting into nooks and crannies you don't think they can. not sure why most think you can just tuck in your pant legs they are half the size of a sesame seed and that gives them plenty of movement in what would appear to be hard to reach places.

so small - how can we expect to see them....

That's it...I'm never leaving the house.

Your RV makes any Walmart parking lot (ok, most) in the US your new tick free front yard.
