I'll chime in to say I despise seed ticks. They are awful this year.

Found a seed tick on DS last week. Bit him four times. Took him to the dr today for congestion/drainage and mentioned the tick bites that still look bad. He put him on an antibiotic that covers the pneumonia/bronchitis that was starting and Lyme disease since we aren’t sure how long it was on him (could have been almost 24 hours.) NOT a fan of ticks!!

Ticks are supposedly real bad here but I think I've seen a total of 3 in the time I've lived here. :idunno Not complaining mind you... But the mosquitoes, deer flies, horse flies, fire ants, hornets and red wasps are a constant issue.

So I'm sitting here listening to the occasional very loud blast of thunder to my N-NE. Over the past several days, I've had storms all around me but no rain here... Just a few scattered drips/drops. Seems this one will miss me as well. Just checked the radar and it seems to be lining up north-south, just to the east of me. :( I'm all out of goat milk and the goats are on milk withdrawal for worming... I think tomorrow I'm going to give all but the youngest their CD&T booster (a few days early of 5 weeks) and then band the boys to be banded.

I don’t think you’ve been in Texas long enough. I don’t even live there and even I know that they are Fahr ants!!! ;):lol::old:gig:plbb:hide
