I saw on the internet a great way to remove tics from humans and pets as they seem to be worse this year than they have been in a long time! A few drops of peppermint oil and the tic will get excited and extract itself from the skin.

 
Never heard of that one before.  My pup has already gotten one from my suburban yard in April and we saw another one crawling on my son.  Prior to that, my dogs have only gotten them in the forest preserve.  So it seems like a bad season at least for me so far.  I have special tweezers for them and then drop them in rubbing alcohol to kill.  I usually do everything organic in my yard, but I think I am spraying pesticide this year daily or every other day low on my foliage to kill the skeeters and tics.  

 
The peppermint oil might or might not work but its effects on your pet  even a minute amount can have range from irritating to  potentially deadly .

From the American Vet Med Asc  " essential oils, including oil of cinnamon, citrus, pennyroyal, peppermint, pine, sweet birch, tea tree (melaleuca), wintergreen, and ylang ylang, are poisonous to dogs and cats. Both ingestion and/or enough skin exposure can be toxic". 

Small amounts of food grade oils, like peppermint oil used in cooking, are diluted to such a degree that ingestion at that point, once cooked into food, is usually ok for many pets.

Try this or something similar instead.

My youngest daughter is a veterinarian, she said that pet owners need to be especially aware and cautious of all essential oils where our four legged, winged, finned, scaled, etc,  companions are concerned. LMAO, she is 110% my child, she also said and I quote "remember Ma, it is the internet , if you search hard enough you can find proof that tick bites will grant your pet superpowers like seeing thru walls ".

M2, thank you for opening this topic, and bless you hon for caring about a our four legged companions, tho I am a cat person I love all animals!

  2. shoutback @ shoutback: I think when we have open discourse without preconceptions we all agree more than we disagree
  3. D @ drdrizzy13: Oh I totally agree and I agree the War on Drugs was and is a complete failure.
  4. shoutback @ shoutback: I'm not trying to say my point of view is better than others, just think we need to have more open and honest discussion about everything
  5. D @ drdrizzy13: You are right it probably doesn't. It has pretty much ruined my other first cousins live. He is so out there. It just sucks to see ya know. They take it to the extreme.
  6. shoutback @ shoutback: @drdrizzy13 your exoerience does not reflect the overall mainstream
  7. D @ drdrizzy13: yea for sure.
  8. shoutback @ shoutback: This is one of the few places in the internet where we can freely discuss this things and taking reactive stance like fentanyl and zenes are the devil do not promote a heathy discourse on the subject, though I understand admin also does not want to be under constant threat of people like the dea and fda
  9. D @ drdrizzy13: Honestly I can't think of any alcohoclis except for a friends Dad. I haven't drank in 10 years. I don't really hang around peole that drink or go to bars. I just hate being around drunks lol. And going to bars sucks if your not drinking too.
  10. shoutback @ shoutback: We don't work on something and do not continue developing with developing safeguards and appropriate treatment methods we adapt to what we learn. How many people do you know with alcohol addictions ? How many violent rapes and murders do we see happen under someone under the influence of alcohol yet alcohol is not demonized in the way fentanyl is and that affects much less people. Let's not be hypocritical. The prohibition model does not work and this is no place where we should be promoting it
  11. D @ drdrizzy13: I agree with that point.
  12. shoutback @ shoutback: They would not been sought after by mainstream users if things like heroin were not so criminalized
  13. D @ drdrizzy13: portugal demcrined drugs in 2001 for personal use. It worked for a while. They saw less ODs but now it says in recent years it has scene an increase in ODs and drug related crime. So i guess it worked there for a couple of decades lol
  14. shoutback @ shoutback: All drugs, every single one. The manner of dispensing them might be different but acrimilization and demonization is just terrible in practice and it's inmho genocidal behavior. What we are seeing with the fentanyl and zene crisis is an actual failing of these laws
  15. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: F$CK Z3NES!
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: xyz zenes?
  17. shoutback @ shoutback: So many typos so little time to correct them though I hope I was able to get my point across.
  18. D @ drdrizzy13: So you really think every drug should be legal. Even F and hard?
  19. shoutback @ shoutback: Safe matter hurts others, but clamping diwn with criminalization abd demonizing substances causes much more harm. This field is not without its pitfalls but there are many examples of great healing while the war on drugs has been a completely destructive force and should not be legitimized in ANY manner.
  20. shoutback @ shoutback: Irresponsibility, selfishness, and inability to do things in a save master
