Tick Central

We are at ground zero of the tick infestation of 2009, as far as we can tell. I've only found one yet today, but there were three last night (that we found, that is). I pull them off of the dogs before they attach almost daily, and find the dead ones that suck down some of that fine Frontline. Dave has found several crawling on him. Thus far, perhaps being less hairy, Naomi and I have escaped the ticks, but even typing about it gives me creepy-crawlies all over. Shudder.

  1. Ick, yeah. I did a trail run in Wincopin this evening, followed by a cursory tick check, but I will have to check again in those hard to see (and reach) places. No Frontline for peeps!

  2. We just came back from a walk in the woods. Tick check mandatory prior to bed-time.
