ellyssianBah! I knew somehow I'd miss the big updatia item. Wednesday night, Rachel discovered a tick on her leg.
The little sucker (quite literally) came off easily with our deadly splinter tweezer thingies. It is currently crawling around in a sealed zip lock bag - head, body, and all; still in one piece. I had heard something on the news about someone wanting you to send them ticks - especially those that bite people - for disease testing. Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly *who* wanted them, or even who reported it (tv news? newspaper? web page?)
Deb is supposed to have called either the county extension office (which is, I believe, the contact, or the source of information about the contact) and/or the Department of Health. To my knowledge, she has not done this, so the tick remains a fridge ornament.
