Ah, me too! The only things that's keep the ticks low now is drought, but they're still around. I gotta find the sulfur dust in the shed and get out some repellent. Don't know for sure the sulfur dust works on ticks, but a park ranger taught us about the sock full of sulfur dust, put on shoes, socks and lower pants. Watched a PBS show about the poisonous frogs, snakes, spiders, scorpions, jellyfish, etc., they collect these natural venoms and scientists find they contain very important medical uses for parts of them that the actual toxic ingredient can be removed from. Amazing! The sad part is some of these creatures will probably go extinct soon because of what we're inadvertantly poisoning THEM with.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
