The cost of living has gone through the roof, and November cannot come early enough.
There’s nothing worse than shopping for your family, just to realize that you have to put back those expensive fruits and meat packages. How are families getting by?
It was short, had action, and excitement, everything a successful IG post is supposed to have. What I saw though really rubbed me wrong.
Guest SickTick Band Review: I stumbled on SickTick bands this spring, thinking they might be a good addition to my outdoor gear line-up as I spend a significant amount of time working and recreating in tick country from Kansas to Tennessee to Alabama. Like most people, I’m generally skeptical of new products like this. I figured I would give them a whirl and I’m glad I did.
Ticks are present during 3 of 4 seasons, and we must always be on the lookout. Starting in the spring, nymphs can be found in piles of decomposing leaves under trees as well as in fields, picnic areas, and residential areas including your own backyard... Ticks do not jump, fly, or drop from trees, they only crawl and climb… Seven out of the 18 reportable tick-borne diseases in the U.S. are attributable to Ixodes ticks per the CDC… SickTick Leg, Ankle and Waist Bands keep them down and out.
If you have never pulled a tick from your skin, or that of your child, consider yourself lucky! Eastern blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) and western blacklegged ticks (Ixodes pacificus) can carry spirochete bacteria that cause Lyme disease—Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto and Borrelia mayonii. Both can unfortunately be transmitted to humans through tick bites, leading to a cascade of serious health issues. But these ticks are just the tip of the iceberg!
