Ticks

Well folks, tick season is upon us. If you find yourself removing a tick, be sure to place the tick in a plastic bag and store it in the freezer. If you develop a rash or bulls-eye pattern around the bite, you can take the offending tick to the doctor for testing to see if it carries Lyme's disease. By doing this, you'll prevent unnecessary medication for yourself and avoid expensive testing.

*What to eradicate ticks from your yard naturally? Try buying a few Guinea hens as pets. Two Guineas per acre will keep your yard tick-free. An added bonus: they also eat snakes!
