Yuck

We have all decided that we really don't like ticks.  This very innocent looking creature called a wood tick isn't all that sweet.  Actually, quite nasty.  They like to find a warm spot on a person and burrow their head right under the skin where they like to sit and enjoy a dinner.  Apparently if you don't notice it right away you don't have to panic.  You will notice it in a day or two when it's body just puffs up nice and huge from all of it's dinner.  Makes me ill just thinking of it.  Thus far we have found them on the youngest three grandkids, Dayna has found one crawling on her and Dave has had one too.  They are not easy to remove.  Coal has has one too and I am surprised we haven't found more on him - not for lack of trying!  I really don't want to encounter a tick any bigger than this!

That's him (or her) sitting on a piece of 3 holed lined paper - just so you know how big (little really) he is.
