So, no venison, beef, pork, lamb, milk, butter, yogurt, cottage cheese ... nothing from a mammal. I'm on a high protein diet and I'm having a difficult time meeting my daily protein goal now.

I'll adjust to it but right now I am pissed off and venting. Looks like my diet will consist of eggs (cooked in veggie oil), poultry, seafood, veggies, and fruit.

You guys be careful out there. Like I said, Permethrin has worked perfectly for me. I keep 5 sets of shirts/pants in my gun room that are treated with Permethrin and USUALLY I go in there and change clothes before I go out on my property.

How long after the bite until you noticed any symptoms and what were the first ones?

I found a tick on my yesterday. It was in my toe. It hurts worse than any other tick but I've had, but maybe due to location of bite. Toe is red and swollen now

What kinda tick?
