This is good advice. Most people just flush them. It is important to remove ticks the proper way. Tick pullers are the best, and haven't failed me in removing the head after probably 50 removals from my dogs. Tweezers are a close second. Do not twist, and do not use the suffocation method or the burning method.

This is some real news. I use 7-Zip quite often. Being relatively new to the infosec community, I find it to be fun, and a learning challenge to keep up with any new exploits!

I really hope you beat it. I know a couple different people that got it and it can be miserable. If you get it under control it's expensive, and if you cant afford it it's pretty much torture. Good luck!

People around here (Niagara Falls area, NY) get it all the time too. Last year was horrible for ticks. I have 3 German Shepherds and some days i was pulling 10 or more ticks off them of multiple species. Reading this post makes me feel more confident for this year because i just got myself more than 30 chickens, but already this year my oldest brought home a tick. Hopefully they aren't as bad this summer.
