BEATING LYME DISEASE - A TICK TALK!

- I have now had Lyme disease twice and ticks are everywhere! It is next to impossible to stop them when you work outside as much as I do every day but we have to keep fighting them....here are some ways to slow them down!
Thanks, Chris! +1 for going to the doc immediately -- my sweetheart got a tick on our property and her doctor prescribed doxycycline right away to get ahead of the infection in case she had picked up Lyme. Luckily she hadn't. Also, we're big believers in permethrin on our outdoor clothes and picaridin (which also works on deer flies, thankfully -- and the Ranger Ready brand comes in non-stinky scents). Glad you're feeling better!
Yup, bugs are like the gubmint....trying to suck the life out of us all...parasites!
Glad you’re feeling better Chris. There is a difference between a creek and a crick. You have a nice creek at the old wood yard. A crick has to have an old used tire in it. 😀
Thanks 👍 I will remember that one!
Very good video Chris! My rating of this vid... 10+ outta everything professor. Sent it to my daughter. I'm sure shes done all of this, but at times she thinks shes the only one dealing with it. Thanks again!
Thanks for the great rating Sir Philip!
@@InTheWoodyard another good 1 professor. Nice response.
Chris, just got blood test to check for Lyme and regular yearly check up.
Like you I’m in woods hiking, cutting trees, walking dog, making maple syrup.
Nice “Tic Talk”!
Thanks Mark!
I have always said that I want to leave this world in a huge explosion!!🔥🔥 I hope that explosions fire is so hot that no ticks, flies, biting bugs, poisonous spiders and etc. can ever live in that spot for decades there after!😃
Thanks for going at this topic a little deeper, and please, Wood Hounds never accept a false negative or a Doctors reluctance for testing or prescribing meds right away. Keep pushing the point till someone listens...👍
Snakes too.
Yup! I will stand next to when the splosion happens...but I will not hold your hand. Ha!
@@annmariekowalski7505 Snakes eat a lot of bugs!
@InTheWoodyard 🤣🤣 I don't need my hand held, but you are more than welcome to share my plosion!!🔥🔥
@@annmariekowalski7505 I am not a huge snake fan either. I grew up with a Dad that always kept a garden hoe close just for any snakes. I don't seek them out or care to handle them but I do understand they do their part in rodent/bug control. So I let them go their way and I go mine!😀
Ticks suck! I’m glad you got some meds and are feeling better! Take care Chris👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Yup, like the gubmint...all parasites!
Those meds work great!👍👍
Yes they do.....way better now...to bad we did not get time to chat at the frenzy! Next time!
@@InTheWoodyard for sure!
In the UK you can get clothing with anti tick treatments impregnated In the clothing
Scotland sheep are often described as Tick magnets
Hope you continue to get better
Yup, doing great ....thanks!
Biggest preventative measure is to get your partner to do a tick check. Parents check your kids thoroughly. Every time you come out of at risk areas.
Yup.
Try apple cider vinegar and eucalyptus oil. Works great
okay
I seem to have more trouble with ticks in early spring in the woods than in the summer for some reason. Maybe because no spray/bug ointment in
the spring
Yup, me too.
Typically depending on the height of brush/grass ive had luck just spraying jeans and boots from my waist down.
Good idea!
Just heard on the radio that today is Internstional Fairy Day. Hope all of you are blessed with your special Pixie Dust.
That explains why I felt so "special" today!
Deer flies HURT!!! It is so dry and hot here, very few bugs this summer!!!!!!!
Yup, they draw blood from you fast...kinda like the gubmint....parasites.
CHRIS YOU MAY TRY A FLEA AND TICK COLLAR
If it worked AND was safe for humans...they would be on the market already.
Take an anti parasitical treatment.
Like????
I do the permethrin on my boots and pants, deep woods off on the rest of my clothes. Long sleeves in the woods. The deer ticks are actually transported by mice to so many other species. Great to hear you are back at it.
Thanks!
D-100 Doxycycline, twice used for 30 day periods wiped it out both times. They were about 7 years apart, waiting for Drs. endless tests was not an option IMHO, ordered D-100 on line and was relieved of aches in 2-3 days, but went the whole 30 days. Have a nice flock of chickens now and haven't encountered any ticks around the property, free rangers on patrol. NE PA. :)
willing to provide any info on how you ordered online without a prescription, asking for a friend😉
Yup...2-3 days and I was better both times too. I did 2x a day for 21 days
Some places will have a "doc" interview you for the prescription sale basically.
Assume your doctor spoke to you about doxycycline and sunlight exposure. Not the best combination so I hope you are doing something to protect yourself to avoid those side effects.
Yup...but I did not listen to well and I did get burned a bit.
Good morning Chris, you're right about the ticks! I had Lyme disease along with Cellulitis in 2015, inever knew a body could hurt so much! There were days I thought I was going to die and days I wish I would've! I use Permethrin on my clothes when I'm in the woods and especially turkey hunting and have had outstanding luck with keeping ticks off me! Lyme is NOTHING to sneeze at and can be debilitating and possibly deadly! Another bad disease is West Nile virus. My best friend's brother in MT contracted it and nearly died, he's in a permanent care center and will be the rest of his life! He cant even breathe on his own! Stay safe, hope you and Kenny get better! GNI
Thanks for the info...sorry to hear about the brother!
Im getting itchy just watching this video.....😁
Ha!
After seeing the Wolfe Ridge 17VSC, how do the design and build quality compare to the Axis? I've has several people tell me the 17VSC is nowhere near the level the Axis is on.
Nothing to do with this video ....but they both make good stuff. Just different.
My dad got bit by a tick and developed weird allergies to certain foods afterwards. Apparently one of the tick diseases causes permanent food allergies, one variant causes allergies to onions, olives, and turkey. Another variant causes an allergy to red meat. He said he’d rather have had Lyme Disease
I have heard similar stories! Sorry to hear that!
Permethrin is the greatest thing ever invented
Really? I kinda thought the wheel, tooth brushes, computers, antibiotics, planes, jets, cars, air conditioning, running water, electricty and few other things would have it beaten. Ha!
I enjoyed speaking with you at the firewood frenzy. I was wearing one of your shirts and you came up to me and gave me a new logo. Thanks.
Thanks so much!
@@WalterGregory-c6j bible?
Permethrin. That's the only thing that kills ticks.
Hey Chris, just FYI permethrin is extremely toxic to cats. It’s a neurotoxin to them so be careful around em’.
Thanks for talking so candidly about lymes. I didn’t know much I just knew people were afraid of it. I’m super glad you are on the mend and won’t having any lasting issues. Happy splitting!
Thanks for that!
2:35 BEHIND YOU! See on the logs behind your right ear!!! :-) ..... 'Spit from a Unicorn' ! hahahahaha :-) 16:40 Wuhan would ever have thought?
yup!
Chris ~ I just went to ER last night...got a test and they said I have something from the pandemic, a confirmed positive test. Could you send me a couple of those recommendations using a Unicorn Tear or Moon Cube...that may help. They gave me a steroid shot and cough medicine and today I feel 60% better. My employer texted see ya next week! Tomorrow I'm going to go easier in the woods!!! LOL Keith. Keep the content coming....this was helpful. Thank you!
I hope you heal up fast my good man!
Just started on Doxycycline on 6/18 for Lyme Disease. Had a tiny tick to bite on back of my left leg. Developed the worst joint pain, headaches, fever, cold chills, just stay exhausted. On meds for 21 days, feeling better but not 100%. If you get bitten, write the date down and save the tick in an empty pill bottle if possible, but please get checked. This has been hard for me as I have existing autoimmune problems. Even if you test negative, push the doctor to put you on Doxycycline. The sooner the better.
Yup, take the meds asap!
Agreed make YOUR choice, believe in it, swear by it and avoid the confusion. You need to make a horror movie about your time in the swamps with all the different biting creatures, sounds like fun! I enjoy being outside and I will take my chances with Mother Nature, she was here first! I will trust her over our wonderful government!! GNI
Well said! Well said!
Nice talk Chris. Deer tic are not common in my area, but every year I catch one or two crawling on my clothing. Lyme disease not common in this area. As for Rocky Mountain spotted fever, I give prairie dog towns a wide berth as the fleas carry RMSF. A medical DR is better than a DR splitter. So there’s that. GNI
Thanks for the info LARRY!
Plum Island is off the coast of Connecticut where the government lab is. First sitings were a few miles away inland in Lyme Connecticut.
I read that Lyme was the first place to have them after the US released ticks that they had given the bacteria in preparation for a biological weapon on russian troops in the 1960s. Not sure how true that is but CIA do have an unfortunate history of testing on US citizens
Yes I have heard that too???
"Good Health" is so taken for granted. If you have it , you miss it "bad" when it's gone. I try to pray everyday for Good Health probably the best blessing the good Lord can give ! Glad your Good Health has been restored 😊 Cheers.
thanks.
The other infections that you can get from Lyme are called co-infections. It can also give you Bell's Palsy, which I had. It all caused a lot of problems, that was two yrs ago. I am still not back to 100% health yet. Had about a year of treatment. Yes, it can all be deadly.
Yup, it is nasty crap!
Same issue here in Australia, ticks are pretty much anywhere there is wildlife or live stock. There are some tick free areas, but not where I live!
We dose our dogs for ticks with monthly preventative treatments, which is probably not good for the dogs, or they would be available for humans as well!
One of our ticks will kill you with the toxin they exude, no need for diseases!
Yup everything wants to eat us!!
You got it right just go outside and live your life to things you love to do. There's always bugs of some sort. Here there's black flies and mosquitos, stouts which bite like crazy. I have to let them bit me cause the fly sprays bothers me cause I have allergies to all sorts of things. Living with allergies for years now is a hard life cause cannot do much when it comes to certain smells and cannot eat certain food. But have to continue on. I agree with what you said on your video. Keep on cutting and splitting to make more video's for us. Take care and stay hydrated.
thanks so much for the kind words and logical thought.
Morning Chris,
🤔 The other disease that escaped that you mentioned wouldn't be the same one that's caused everything to double in price would it.!
Ha!!!! Maybe so!
I have sent my outside work clothes to insect shield for tick prevention treatment which is good for 70 washings per the company.
What if you work up a good sweat every day and you are absorbing all that chemical into you body through the skin???? Can't be good if you should not spray it on your clothes?????
I'm not much on conspiracy theories!! Because that's what they are. Conspiracy!!
I think a lot happens that man is responsible for.....good and bad.
Well said Chris, don't know if you have ever tried the therm a cell but they work great for mosquitoes
Yup, I have them...in an enclosed space (garage) they work well or in zero wind conditions but with any wind in the open ...nope.
Just a note to say hi I'm a Lyme patient and had several scripts for Lyme and it' never worked for me Lyme repeatedly showed in blood work I was told it may always show up as Lyme I've had it for years
Interesting!
Oh my, thats a scary thick story.
Think, I dont go visit the US.
Over here in France not many thicks.
Well they are not everywhere just where I like to be!....where there are not many people!
Chris I just recently purchased a natural insect repellent company and would love to send you a few samples works awesome on skeeters and smells even better lmk
Awesome thank you! I can do a video showing it if you want. Email me at chrisinthewoodyard@gmail.com
7:56 and that’s where we separate the tourists from the outside people: everything is designed to feed off of something else
The big kerfuffle in 2020 was just that, and it showed just how much people have sanitized rheir lives to the point of thinking that everything is a result of human’s behavior
YUP! Everything kills to live....
Drink more whiskey. 🤭🤭
Best advice all year! Thanks ...I will start tonight by the fire!!!
Hey Chris: Glad you’re on the mend. I’ve never had Lyme disease, but I had Tick Borne Relapsing Fever. Before I moved West, I took precautions for ticks. Here Montana, I have only picked up one in four years. Ronald Reagan said it best: The most frightening words you will ever hear is- I’m from the Government and I’m here to help.
Yup, the gubmint and bugs are the same....all parasites!
I live in west Tennessee ticks are everywhere here you can bet I will go to the doctor in a second if I were feeling bad and thought it was a tick bite.
Yup, good move!
Haha funny you said that I was convinced from day one or when I found out about Covid it was man made!
I think "enhanced" is the scientific term.....yup....probably so.
Yep doxy makes that nausea hit hard. By the third week i was wishing for a time machine.
I felt better within 2 days!
Ah,nothing like experiencing the wild life up close and personal
Yup, they all want a piece of me and you!
I don't get bit by bugs and ticks cause I'm tough, I was born on the moors with the heather
You might want to take a trip to Canada/Alaska in the swampy lakes areas ....Biblical amounts of mosquitoes and black flies that will literally eat you alive.
Well done Chris a very useful and informative video 👏
Thanks Alan!!!
Chris the best medicine for ticks is to move from the ticks state . Chris you got to watch for beaver 🦫 fever bad stuff to . 😮 Chris take it with brownies cookies 🍪 😊. Lol
Yup good idea!
It's crazy that we have pills and liquids for pets that will repel ticks but nothing for humans
That might mean that they are not very good for you or them!
@@InTheWoodyard well we have these bug sprays and tick sprays the repellents I don't think those are good to have on your skin or to breathe but it's better than nothing I suppose
Great information Chris thnx for the video!
Thanks for watching!
Good morning Chris Great Information thank you for the video ( Ty Ron
Thanks!
My husband had rocky mtn. Fever and he and 1 other case the other man died. My husband was sick 15 years and had all kinds of horrid things from it. Please take care of it.
Yup, it is nasty stuff! I have done the meds twice now both times they worked great!
@@InTheWoodyard I don't think themes were around n d then?
Chainsaw bar oil is good for mosquitoes 🦟, it’s good for all day in the forests 🌳 😊. Labrador there millions in front of you went your fishing 🎣. 😊
So do I apply it with a brush or spray on...maybe full body dip??
Wife says the fun happens in the bedroom lol
Sounds like you married well!
Cool hack Ive found with the deet stuff is just soaking some ropes in the bottled stuff and dangle that off your belt or pack.
So the rope magically hits the ticks all the time before they grab on to your clothes??????
@@InTheWoodyard hey you know what? I was totally thinking of mosquitoes. Sorry I squirreled hard towards the end of the video. My bad 😅
I agree with your ideas about just get outside and live. Not so sure about the "sarcastic" remark about lyme originating in a lab considering that the first cases were documented in 1764 in Scotland, I don't think we have invented time travel yet. 😂
Taken from CDC own website. Borrelia burgdorferi was first described in 1975 in Lyme Connecticut
CDC.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00001024.htm
Similar to coronavirus. It may have existed in nature for millennia but man has fiddled with it for his own aims and left us all worse off for it
The strain we have was first discovered in the USA by a lab that did medical research right by LYME CONNECTICUT so that might be an issue??? Maybe in 1764 the medical research was a bit different/off than modern times??? I am not that kind of doctor I just talk smart on youtube!! Ha!
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!
"Let God be God"... classic. Plenty of ticks here but so far avoided Lyme.disease. Chiggers are my nemesis
Yup, the bugs want to eat us!
Thanks Chris great video,,,,,tears from a unicorn.lol ha ha love it that's how some are with remedies.lol
Yup, that and some chickens lips, new born babies hair and rainbow dust.
LOL ha ha ha yeah man you're right.lol
Glad you're feeling better! Somehow I've made it to 42 and not got it yet and lived my life outdoors. A neighbor at the cabin had lymes 7 times
Maybe the bugs like the way you neighbor tasted more than you???
I don't like spraying poison on myself. I check myself over when I come in and shower. I will take my chance with nature and go to the doctor if I need to. Tics can be a real problem. We have few around the house in about a 3 acre area because we free range our chickens. they are death on tics. Our dog used to get 7-8 tics a week, she has had 1, that we know of in the last 7 years after we got chickens. This was a really good video. Don't be afraid of life because none of us are going to live forever. I won't go to Canada when the black flies and mosquitoes are thick.
Yup, chickens will clean up a lot of bugs for you! Nice! I am not a fan of chemicals on me either.
🎉
Thanks!
Thank you so much for all the Lyme disease important information. When I go out in the woods, I tuck my pant legs inside tall socks which help kept the little buggers from crawling up inside my pants. I stop now and then to check for ticks. When I get home my wife will check for ticks on me in areas I can't see. If it not funny guys. If you think you have this disease, please see your doctor. My very best to the lady that is your friend who has been disabled by Lymes disease.
Yes it is not to be ignored!
Glad you're feeling better!!! Looking forward to seeing you In the Woodyard and Out of the Woodyard!!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks!
Hi Chris. I am one of those canadians that live with all those mosquitos you talked about, lol. Some of the stuff I do when cutting trees, etc in the woods is, I wear gators around my boots to cover my boots and pant bottoms. Need the ones that come up to the knee. There is a draw string to tighten up at the top as well. They really do work great. I use them for fly fishing as well, keeps rocks and crap out of my boots too, bonus. As well as loose nylons type pants too. I find those bugs and others have a bit of a harder time sticking to them as cotton jeans , etc. Long sleeve shirts help as well. I use a product called Watkins mosquito repellent too. Not as bad as some other products out there. These things seem to work well for me and others I know. No chemicals really required. ;) Anyways, that's my 2 cents for what it's worth. To each their own! Anyways, stay healthy and have an awesome day! Cheers!
Thanks for the tips! Yup, everything wants to eat us out there!!!
Amen!
thanks for watching!
Good morning Chris!!😀😀
So glad you are all better now.
Hopefully Kenny is better also.
Take care my friend!!😀😀
Logger Al
Thanks Al!
I lost a (best) friend to Lyme disease because the medical people had no idea. He contracted it in south Texas (70 miles west of Austin). So don’t think it only happens in the northern U.S. Glad you’re doing better.
Sorry to hear that...yes it is a nasty thing that is hard to know about!
Great job putting info out on tick safety and Lyme disease. Great to meet you @ the Midwest firewood frenzy. As always great videos. Later Al
Thank you so much for watching and stopping by to chat!
I’ve had both Lyme and Rocky Mountain. Luckily always caught them immediately and never suffered any effects from it. But what I’ve done for the last 2 years is had my yard sprayed every 3 weeks. I have not seen a tick or had one on me since then (knock on wood lol). Money well spent. You can do it yourself if you want. I think this is the best solution. I can’t remember to put on bug spray every time I go outside. I’m in NC so with our mild winters the ticks are terrible. You should consider spraying your wood yard. We have 15 acres so we can’t spray the whole property but we spray about a 3 acre section, our yard, around the shop and the woodyard.
What are the side affects of the spray to you/pets /kids/birds..... If it kills bugs it probably isn't good. But we are all going to die from something so....
@@InTheWoodyard Amen to that. Once it is in the soil, it comes in on your feet. If anyone sits on the ground, kids, pets. You are putting poison in the soil forever. I spent 20 years as a Health inspector. What you are doing to yourself, and your environment is worse than anything a tic can do to you.
Just like covid
maybe???
G’morning Chris. Thanks for the advice and information. Glad to hear you can cut and Chuck wood.
GoodNightIrene
Yup, ready to rock and roll again! He just between you and me....SSSHHHH....we just got another ECHO PRO saw...
Great talk Chris! I had Lymes for about 2 weeks before I got diagnosed. I was miserable! The bad thing is that I don't remember a tick on me or had the bullseye mark prior?? It kicked my butt until I got the Doxycycline! Feeling much better now after the meds as well. Finally getting my stamina back. I'm like you though, I am not changing my routine or locking myself in the basement Lol.. GNI
Good to hear you are getting back at it! Most people do not know how much damage it can do to you!
Good morning everyone
Good Morning
Hello!
You are 100% right. You got to live and being outside is part of it. Great video. Everyone should see this video. But, there is alot of people live in a bubble. Enjoy the day (outside)
Thanks for watching!
Hit by bus lolol been close to that!!!
It could happen!
@@InTheWoodyard lol I do see a school bus there!!!
We are all glad you are feeling better.
Now from a guy that is not a Dr. I really recommend Mt. Dew, as it's tasty and does have all the unicorn junk in it.🤣👍
Thanks for the tips! I like you advice Doc!
👍🏻👏🕷️🪓
Thanks!

Thanks!
So well said Chris. Thanks for all your videos. Watch them everyday. Glad your feeling better
Thanks so much Eric!
Good morning all!
Good morning!
Been living in Hot Springs Ar for 7 yrs. No ticks. Maybe 5 mosquito bites. Seen one snake on this 30 acres. I do have many predators after my chickens but very few pests. Way different than south Ar, where I used to live.
However I did get into some Chiggers while picking blackberries. I've had friends with Lyme's and it can be very serious as Chris said.
Chickens get a lot of the bugs for you!!!
Glade you are feeling and doing better Chris. Great talk and a great reminder. Got me thinking about the Read Green Show and the possum lodge, those possums eat their fair share of ticks. Mean little buggers but they have their place. Thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos and the great content you do. Good Night Irene 👍🏻
Edit: My wife would tell me to eat some pork and beans, the by product, her statement, is enough to knock a horse over. 😂
Ha!!! Thanks my wife claims if I drink just water it causes bowel issues !!!
Good Morning Woodhounds!!(--:::::
HELLO!
This earth is such a harmonious and wonderful paradise.......everything must kill to survive. Do ya ever wonder who or what is actually running this place?
Nope...I am! Ha!
My grandpa used kerosene for mosquito repellent, he would cover his whole body and smoke cigarettes at the same time.
How old did he make it to until he burned up??
Tick checks are a daily thing in my house. Being aware of the possibility and understanding catching it sooner is simple better. Wishing everyone good health and a great day.
Yup, some days tick checks are a 24 hour a day thing!
There is more than one variant of Lyme disease. That can contribute to the common false negatives.
Yes, variants are the hidden key to a lot of crap....There was this flue like thing a while back that supposedly came from bats and monkeys in an Asian country....I wonder how that went????
Glad your feeling better
Thanks!
Excellent advice ! THX!!
Thanks for watching!
Goodmorning. I know the answer ,dose any body know why ticks are infections.
The CIA caused all this
CIA created this mess- look it up
Ticks get infected with bacteria from animals they feed from. These bacteria stay in their saliva and then get into the body of the next victim they bite.
Yup, do some research... lots of info out there for you!
Haaaa!
hope Ken is as well as you seem to be soon. take good care Chris
Yup, we both are fine... thanks!
Great Info. I had two on me just from cutting the lawn.
When I am in the thicket, I wear boots, wool socks, coveralls, long sleeves, head net and then I cannot put my arms down. All cuffs are duct taped closed.
Best part of Bills day is my mandatory Tick Inspection prior to showering.
just a little too much info
I like Bills rules ...could he teach them to my wife too???? Haaaa!
@@InTheWoodyard And today In The Woodyard, Tick Inspection.
