Another microscopic tick

Any garden supply store - heck even Walmart - should have it.

Copper sulfate is used to make Bordeaux mixture. It's also a fair substitute for copper supplementation in goats. And it clears up water in ponds, so I'm told.

Deer ticks carry Lyme Disease. They have to be attached to you for 24 hours for the Lyme Disease to enter your blood stream. Lyme Disease isn't an east coast problem any more...it's everywhere. I have it. I've probably had it a long time, but two years ago I was reinfected and broke out in the bullseye rash. Lyme Disease makes your joints ache horribly and can cause mild flu-like symptoms. It also causes insomnia. Blood tests are not very accurate as Lyme can mutate and not be picked up on the tests. Doctors will prescribe a round of antibiotics and tell you you'll be cured, but you won't be.

If you've been bitten by deer ticks (seed ticks) get some Tincturn of Teasel and start taking it.

Put iodine on the site of the bite. Supposedly, you won't get Lime disease if you treat it with Iodine. Also, I've read that putting iodine on a pre-cancerous mole will heal it. I had a beauty mark on my cheekbone that I was getting concerned about. It got dark and raised up above the skin. I've been putting de-colorized iodine on it several times a day. It is now back to original color and no longer a bump. I am IMPRESSED. Took a little over a week.

Iodine is cheap and it wouldn't hurt to use it.
