I never crashed into a chipmunk but I guess that is less painful than into a deer
I think I ran one over at high mountain last week. They were everywhere

field mice also are a bellwether for ticks the more mice the more ticksmy vet tells me the chipmunks are carriers of the deer ticks,
the dog has had a few in the past month and she only goes out to use the bathroom and is treated with frontline
She was diagnosed with Lyme earlier this year already
between the deers and chipmunks I don't know which is my least favorite animal in the world...

Try and save the tick and ID it as a deer tick. Those antibiotics are a mother-F, I wouldn't take them unless I had to.pulled a tick off of my younger daughter last night. She was with me at the NICA race this weekend watching her sister race. Most likely where she picked it up. Sprayed with Deet when we got there. We checked both kids after the race, had them shower that night and checked them again. Last night, she felt something on her leg and sure enough, a tick. It was in there too. It wasn't engorged, but was sort of flat. Not sure how long it was attached, but Sunday to Tuesday and it was in her leg so we're a little worried. I got it out cleanly. Cleaned up the bite and calmed the kid down. Call to the Doc today to get the antibiotics started.
+1 for not getting jacked up by Levaquin.Those antibiotics are a mother-F, I wouldn't take them unless I had to.
In this thread, people scared to death of chemicals in deet but not phased by antibiotics that noticeably F you up.+1 for not getting jacked up by Levaquin.
do they still test ticks? Even if the tick carried Lyme, it doesn't mean it was transmitted. I'd rather not put the kid on any harsh meds if it can be avoided.
