This could be the most important thing that you see me post! Friend or Follow Me for more great stuff! :D Ticks are an epidemic this year, and these things ...are as lethal as a venomous snake in the wrong scenario! Use a lint roller right after being in the woods or on a brush walk.. for humans & pets: Please not only read it, but share it! Make sure we get the word out about these tics and the disease they carry! Follow me here www.fb.com/nanswope Summer is around the corner! Time for camping, hiking and getting outside to play. Dont let those pesky annoying ticks stop you. Heres how with a simple homemade solution! Repellent for your pets: For pets, add 1 cup of water to a spray bottle, followed by 2 cups of distilled white vinegar. Ticks hate the smell and taste of vinegar, and will be easily be repelled by this ingredient alone. Then, add two spoonfuls of vegetable or almond oil, which both contain sulfur (another natural tick repellent). To make a repellent that will also deter fleas, mix in a few spoonfuls of lemon juice, citrus oil, or peppermint oil, any of which will repel ticks and fleas while also creating a nicely scented repellent. Spray onto the pets dry coat, staying away from sensitive areas including eyes, nose, mouth, and genitals. When outdoors for an extended period, spray this solution on two to three times per day. For you and your family: In a spray bottle, mix 2 cups of distilled white vinegar and 1 cup of water. To make a scented solution so you do not smell like bitter vinegar all day, add 20 drops of your favorite essential oil. Eucalyptus oil is a calm, soothing scent that also works as a tick repellent, while peppermint and citrus oils give off a strong crisp scent that also repel ticks. After mixing the solution, spray onto clothing, skin, and hair before going outdoors. Reapply every four hours to keep ticks at bay, and examine your skin and hair when back inside to make sure no ticks are on the body. If you have ever shared anything, please click share on this! We MUST get the word spread about the dangers of Ticks and how to avoid them! ~share~share~share~share~share

Big news about NA-1, a drug that has the potential to reduce stroke damage in patients. Dr. Tymianski is exploring the possibility of being able to administer t...his drug via intramuscular injection (like an EpiPen). This could enable the drug to be administered sooner and help prevent damage before it happens. See more

Bill Davies 3 hrs Today more than ever, I want the healing of addiction!! Theres a personal reason for asking everyone to put this message on their status for at least 1 hour. I know wholl do it! Think of someone you love who has had an addiction or who is trying to fight this evil. I hope to see this on the status of all my friends. Dont share, but copy and paste!! Hold your finger text and it will highlight, select copy, then paste it on to your own wall. The pain hurts more than just the addict, we hate the disease not the person!! Amen

What the world needs now. #MoreMoments
