I remember growing up, me and my brothers would pull em off my dog and they be the size of quarters - at least for my little eyes they sure were.<BR/>We went fishing in a real wooded area once a few years back and the next day, I found one at the nape of my neck - I thought my mole had moved on me - then I realized there were two moles and one of them was alive! <BR/>From then on, you wont catch me without a ballcap!Cookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00960126164765305142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-107690607512959406.post-10393063875973641832008-03-14T09:03:00.001-07:002008-03-14T09:03:00.001-07:00Hi Kat..I am ALMOST an authority on ticks...when w...Hi Kat..I am ALMOST an authority on ticks...when we lived in CT my son contracted Lyme disease from a deer tick...he was only 3 at the time.

Afterwards I hopped in the shower to scrub up. As I lathered up to shave the ol' ham hocks, I felt somethin' weird behind my knee. When I realized what it was and that it buried itself there I jumped outta the shower, ran down the stairs stark neked screamin' for my hubs. He thought he was goin' to get lucky, boy was he wrong! <BR/>He got the tweezers and plucked it out of the back of my leg. I immediately thought I had Lyme Disease and made an appointment to see my doc. I swear that thing left a crater in the back of my leg like the Grand Canyon! So now when I go out to outside, I'm completely paranoid! Man, now I'm goin' to have nightmares tonight! Yikes!!<BR/>Oh by the way, what ya have a minute, hop on over to my blog! :> )<BR/>~PeanutCountryfolk Keepsakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541472780276345561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-107690607512959406.post-62192934297690113422008-03-14T08:05:00.000-07:002008-03-14T08:05:00.000-07:00I am so glad to learn that a Jersey Tick has nothi...I am so glad to learn that a Jersey Tick has nothing to do with spastic muscles!
