How long have you been in Wisconsin? Get thee to the vet for some Frontline or other tick preventive! You don't want these on your pets!

Here is a link that might be useful: tick images

I thought my dog had a growth tumor.It kept getting bigger and bigger .then one day it fell off and I picked it up and put it on my desk snd it started crawling away.I learned something that day .Get a good flea and tick collar or Frontline or ? Mine looked just like row 2 picture 1 in the link.

Thanks for that feedback. I did a google search after I posted this and realized that they were tics. I guess I had never seen photos of them engorged, as I thought they looked much smaller and black. He now has Frontline on him and I realize I will need to be very careful when working in the garden to protect myself!

Yup, the only thing worse than a tick stuck on your dog is a tick stuck on you! I've had that happen a time or two. Too bad they don't make a 'Frontline' product for humans, LOL.

If we could use Frontline or somethng like it, I'd be right at the front of the line with you.

me, too. I found a site that is much cheaper than my vet. Email me if you want the addy--

I'm not one to reach for chems... yet.. how much of this 'Frontline' do you suppose your system takes in with a pet living in the house.. or your handling of your pet/s?

Your not being real if you think the amount is nothing....

Then the Q becomes.. at what level is this "safe" for humans...? Whatever "safe" is...... something very often loosely addressed via the large corps.. and the sleeping FDA
which is nearly non functional.
