Yup. Pulled at least 50 off the dog last weekend over the course of 3 days. All deer ticks. Only one managed to attach herself to him, found it dead the next day on his neck. One did manage to latch onto me but thankfully was on for only ~12 hours. Still left a rather nasty mark.There's no insect I hate more than ticks. Even mosquitoes are a distant second. I was checking the dog and got one that started crawling on my neck.
It only works in suppository form...I bet you could use an ivermectin wash to wipe out ticks

Always got my dogs the anti Lyme virus shot each year. Wish they had them for people.
Really?? How is that not a thing??
Wow… and I thought, “a bug up your a##…” was just an expressionIt only works in suppository form...
...and gummies for some. LOL
Identify as a furry?Don’t know??
But they have it for dogs, just not people.
I get to an extent they don't want to overprescribe antibiotics. I called my local urgent care to inquire about precautionary antibiotics for the one I pulled off. She informed me they don't prescribe them unless the tick had been attached for 36 hours.Yep, I still have a skin tag that grows from a deer tick each month that I pull off, going on 30+ years now.
Took me explaining to the doc the antibiotic I needed to ward off Lyme. He was ignorant of it at the time, as it was uncommon here.
He wanted to wait and see, I said I already had the bullseye rash, I ended up winning.
Certainly didn’t want wait the 6 weeks to test and retest and then start the simple antibiotic, and risk the possibility of complications.

Ticks suck, Deer Ticks are way worse!
