My nephew pulled out a Lone Star Tick on his leg. There's a 1 to 2% chance he gets the allergy to meat. Nasty things!
Look up Dr Aldis on YouTube. He had a video regarding that. I think it's this one. In here somewhere. He shows the literature as well.

I started wearing cut up nicotine patches with paper tape over the worst parts of my back and hip areas. (Yes, it says don't cut, but the paper tape keeps it from leaking, getting on my clothes and coming off). Brings the pain levels from an 8 to about a 2.
Go through the video and use what you need.
Interesting, informative!
@Lori Great. Thank you for that.
