Ticks?

Anyone ever run into this? Their not on the plants at all actualy they seem to avoid it but still theirs alot of them crawling around in my tent trying to hide under stuff like my dwc bucket iv even found a few that have managed to fall into the resivour and die

could this be a bad thing? I'm 2days into flowering so I just set my flower tent up... I'm pretty sure their ticks cuz I got bit by a few of them and oddly enough I have no pets :weed:

dude im really not happy you posted this... (shudder) i freaking hate ticks. i dident think there was anything that would make me chop a grow but you just found a reason for me. there is no way i could be around a tick for any reason. (shudders again) honistly if i were you id suit up with long pants, long sleave shirt , gloves, ski mask, and goggles and ducktape any seams then lite off about 5 bug bombs and get some spray bottles of some tick killing stuff and just go crazy in there. by crazy you can take that as eather meaning, im sure both would apply.

i got a tick in the back of my neck one time, like 8 or 9 years ago. worst thing ever. worse then when my fingers were crushed. worse then breaking my leg. (shudders again)
 
Yea I plan on bombing it sucks cuz I changed my res a day befor I noticed all of them so I'm thinking of letting my girls soak for a few days so I don't waste all my nuts then doing a full clean / bombing ;) just kinda weired cuz it's a completly sealed tent their not eating the plants or roots so how are they liveing and why are in their I have no pets at all...lol

You must have bought something that had the ticks, cause they usually just chill out in the wild untill something comes along with blood in it for them to eat on. I've had hundreds of ticks in my lifetime, and I guess I'm lucky cause I've never contacted a disease from them. I usually just check myself whenever I got out of the woods and there would be some crawling on me, maybe 1 or 2 actually biting me. Just make sure if its attached to you that you remove the head. Thats how you get the disease, by leaving thier heads in your skin.

Also, have you google'd ticks? Cause they dont just bite you like a ant or misquito, they actually attach themselves to your skin and you have to physically remove them.
