I see this is an old thread, but an important one for sure. How did this end up work out?

When I bought my New Holland 60, I was told the same thing…since it exceeded 25 hp I needed a separate policy. I got a policy and also added all my implements. Mine is not used for commercial purposes….just managing my own property and woods.

Hello All, I just signed up to be a test subject for a vaccine that is being developed for Lyme disease. This is something I think about all the time, because I work outdoors and pull at least a couple of ticks out of myself every season. They still would like volunteers, so I will post the info for anybody who wants to sign up. Brief details: it is 18 months long, you go in once every couple of months to get a shot, they do pay you $800 for your involvement. There is a 1/3 chance the shot you get is a placebo. This is phase 2 of the clinical trials. I figured hunters and anybody whose job places them at a higher risk for Lyme should be interested in this.

Permethrin is a synthetic form of Pyrethrum… which is made from chrysanthemum flowers. Its LD50 in rats is over 4000. Permethrin has some on body uses for controlling critters such as head / body lice. The EPA lists it as safe when used according to label directions. Treat clothing per label and one should not have any issues.

I think you are panicking for nothing NC . I have been using the same Sawyers .05 unscented mix for at least 15 years. Been spraying it on any clothes I use to go in the woods for summer checking cameras and cutting up fire pit wood, hunting in the fall, and and a very light spray for winter. I have no concerns. I spray it both in and out . For summer I wear a very thin coverall with a pair of jeans shorts and a tee shirt underneath. So the coverall is rubbing on my skin. Never a tick bite , No rashes of any kind , or any other issue . I actually put a heavy spray on that coverall and let it totally dry for a day. I know tons of people doing the same for hiking , checking cams , and camping . Never heard of any issues from anybody . The campers I know not only spray their clothes , they spray the inside of their sleeping bags . No concerns or ill effects from anyone. And its been years they have been doing this. A couple guys I know actually wipe a very light diluted mix on their dogs . No issues there either. But dont spray anywhere near a cat where they can get it on them while its wet. They could get sick from it. Its fine after its dry. I actually have sprayed our cats bed and dried it . Found dead ticks in there from them dragging them in when they go outside. Never affected any of the cats at all . Once the spray is dry , everything is good to go . One last thing . I spoke to the company a while back. One of their biggest clients is the military. Permethrin works on all kinds of critters. Sand fleas in the middle east , and all kinds of swamp bugs in the jungles. Do you think for one second they would let our soldiers use that stuff if they knew it was harmful to them ?

So I completed the full three doses about 20 years ago (right before they discontinued it!) - I wonder if they would let me roll into this one....I could use a 6th toe on my right foot to balance me out! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
