It's a plague!

Okay, one or two ticks, I can understand...but 8 or 10 over the last three days (5 or 6 tonight!)? When neither of my other thirds has had even one?? And I've been nowhere near the dog???

I'm not even sure what's wrong, much less how to fix it...

::edit:: Another one, near 5pm on Monday... Grrr.

::edit:: And another, at midnight Monday...

Garlic, lots and lots of garlic.

Hey, we told him to go make nice with his god, and if that didn't work, we were upping his garlic and chili pepper intake LIKEWHOA.

Pennyroyal oil mixed with...aw hell. Just go to www.altnatures.com and order her nifty bug repellant roll-on stuff.

Reallyreally works, I had NONE on me when everybody else at White Hart had gazillions of the seed ticks.

Thing is, I haven't even been outside/messed with the dog in days. And I'm pretty sure the cat is too dumb to deal with ticks if they infested her, so she'd be dead of blood loss if she was the vector.

They just seem to be targeting me... :P

Sounds like....

Still, this stuff works wonders! And it even smells good, if you like the herbal/minty smell.

And it'll mean we won't have to worry about him getting pregnant! =)

You could wear a collar ... if anybody asks you could just look sheepish and say it's a dom/sub thing and shows you belong to somebody ...

Funny, considering where most of them are biting me, [livejournal.com profile] featherynscale suggested wearing two flea collars like garters. :P
