Deer Tick

#1 (**permalink**) 28-05-2009, 02:43 PM

Can anyone give me any info on deer ticks.

We are going camping in an area where i know they are a problem and i know they are nasty but nothing else.

What can i take with me to extract/can i do anything to prevent/how do i spot them ??

Thanks xx

This is the best method

Your vet may have them.

Alternatively a pair of fine tweezers, the problem with tweezers is you may squash it an the poison will go into your dog
