Hi WESTPORTMAFIA,

I live in the south end of Westport, for the last couple of weeks I have been seeing a lot of those small ticks...the bad deer ticks.

If you are tramping through the pucker-brush you should tuck you pants into your socks and use repellent. If you have been in "hot" areas you should check yourself...or have someone else check your bod...that might be more fun.

It worked....you got me picturing a nice rosy red swollen lump, bleeding all the while a grossed out woman trying to remove a buried tick head while holding her puke back...........my mouths' watering right now ...

i've had plenty of ticks in me

and so far no LYME disease

but the point i'd like to make is....

ticks don't have a dip stick like a mosquito

they turn them selves in like a screw [ kinda ]

so if you clamp on the body with a pair of
(just before the head)
forceps that you can easily twist or twirl

you can turn them out real easy (counter clockwise)

yanking them out almost never works.

see the serrations in this blow up pic is why they cannot be
yanked out like a bee or wasp stinger...and must be UNSCREWED

Here's where I would usuallydo my Lyme disease rant... I'm tired of typing it...don't f'around w/deer ticks
