If you’d let Justin have a little fun more often he’d have found that quicker.

I friggin hate ticks. I was washing my hair one day and was like, “Hmm what is this bump on my head?” I touched it, poked it (mind you I can’t see it) and then it fell out and was on the shower floor. I screamed like a banshee!!!
Ick.

I love Karen’s comment . . . he can add this to reasons why you should %$@*& more often . . .

Ticks suck. Haha No pun intended. There should be an adult vaccine!

Eww - I’m so grossed out by ticks. Something about how you have to remove it really carefully so that you don’t get an infection from tick head chunks in your body? Just - eww.

For dogs, get Frontline Plus from your vet. My dog hasn’t had a tick since I put him on it. Good stuff!

“Deer ticks” are the ones that carry Lyme disease. They’re the size of sesame seeds when adults - hard to see. “Dog ticks” are the larger ones (size of small raisins) - known to carry Spotted Fever but not around Virginia much. You can find “tick plyers” that will safely remove ticks from your skin with little or no discomfort. They work great (speaking from experience).

Cute! (Er . . . um . . . oh, wait. That doesn’t work here.) Wow! (Huh. That’s not right either.) Gross! (That’s better.)

You’ll all be FINE. But ticks are so icky. I’ve been very happy not to have seen any since we move to Tulsa. Florida? Always pulling them off of the cat. The kids were used to grabbing the tweezers and dropping ticks in the toilets to be flushed. Nasty creatures.
