Deer Ticks
Everything you need to know about deer ticks but was afraid to ask.
As amazing as it sounds deer ticks are one of the leading causes of diseases
to human beings in the United States second only to those nasty little
mosquitoes. The problem is not caused when the tick actually bites you but
from the
toxic organisms that are transmitted through the bite that can
cause the disease.
There are a hundred different species of ticks throughout the world and they
are responsible for carrying everything from Rocky Mount spotted fever, to line
disease, to Texas fever.
There are two main groups of ticks that you really need to know about:
The deer tick along with the American dog tick have a tough black plate or scutum
that defines their appearance. Deer ticks have been known to feed on you
anywhere from hours to days unlike soft ticks that commonly feed for less than an
hour. Understanding the symptoms and treatment along with prevention of

One of the most important pieces of archery equipment is
actually personal hygine. Scentlock clothes and UV scent free detergents are not
enough to fool Bull Elk or Trophy Bucks. What to do before archery opening day.
Most archery hunters, seasoned and new have read the
articles, have seen the TV commercials on OLN about scent control and how
important it is to the archery hunter. All the technology we have today still
cannot change the warm humid weather of a Georgia swamp, the pines in Alabama, a
Florida Oak Hammock in late September. No different if you are hunting Rocky
Mountain Elk, weather can, has and always will change. If you are human you will
sweat.
However, there are a few simple things that you an archery
hunter can change to improve your chances to bag that trophy. It does not matter
how expensive your clothes are, or whether you use your chosen cover scents
properly. Remember, this technology is after all man made from soap to
scentlock fabric.
You the
hunter need to focus on your natural body chemistry. A week before opening day
watch what you eat. Don’t eat foods high in garlic, onions, fat. Stay away from
spicy foods like, Mexican, hot peppers, and oily foods. These foods increase
body temperature. When you're sweat becomes air born it carries your scent and
give you away to anything with an olfactory organ. So try to eat foods that are
more natural with fewer spices. Don’t worry its not forever. Believe me you will
live. Try to maintain your diet throughout archery season. Good luck.
