One of the most worthless insects in this world are ticks along with mosquitos and they are both bad this year. It must have something to do with the wet spring. Over the last few weeks I have noticed a few very small ticks crawling over my decrepit old body. Yesterday morning I discovered one burrowed into my upper left arm. I tried the alcohol treatment to get it to back out with no success and in the process must have killed it buried under the skin. This morning I went up to the Peacehealth walk-in clinic at Cottage Grove, where my doctor is located. After an hour's wait I actually got in to see my doctor who proceeded to dig out some of the tick's body and prescribed some antibiotics.
Be careful out there, these little b***ards are everywhere.
Yeah Mike, I felt something tickling my leg about a week ago .... and sure enough a wood tick was investigating the habitat and about ready to dig in. He was quickly smashed and flushed down the toilet.
