The place where I hunt in south head, kaipara, the fallow are infested with them and I've found them on me properly latched on. Apart from the odd hallucination I'm in perfect health.

Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction

I do know that you never ever pull them off as the head will usually stay embedded and then set up an infection site of its own. They will drop off voluntarily if smothered in Vicks cream.

East coast NI is lousy with them, being hotter and drier. Meths is the go, no nasty infections
allways had heaps on pigs I have caught/carried. dont seem to bite just crawl around and be annoying. have a shower and they just fall off
Where I grew up the neighboring farm was a deer farm. There was times of the year ticks were horrendous. Not only on the dogs but the cows as well.
My old Golden Lab, you could see them on his eyebrows. So it was almost a daily even to take them off. They never seemed to do him any harm....well maybe they affected his hearing at times!
Yeh we get em bad on our cattle and ponies. Farm had a history of bad management before we bought it and they're impossible to get rid of from the property but control on animals is simple, although costly.
Pig lice and tics are completely different.
Can't mate. Right next to ranges. We manage them with ivomec as best we can
In the UK ticks can transmit Lymes Disease to both dogs and humans...do not know if it is New Zealand. Just googled it and it appears not to have been reported in NZ.

Mikee, did your dogs pick those up from the F&G ponds area where we sometimes chat, or elsewhere?
