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!

  12. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  13. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  14. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  16. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
