I ha...Yup.. they are a real menace in the summer. <br /><br />I had 25 of the tiny wee ones on me once. Fortunately the small Tick O Tom still managed to grip them and get them out. Im glad I have not had as many as 70 though :-o<br /><br />You must be like me in that insects seem to go for me. I also itch like anything from their bites.. mossies in particular... other people dont seem to attract them at all..or so they say ?<br /><br />Its not the tick that concerns me so much as the Lymes disease some carry. My younger brother has it after being diagnosed 5 years ago and is still very ill with it. He didnt know he had it so it got a good hold. <br /><br />My niece also got it, but she saw the ring appear and got antibiotics straight away. She had no more bother. <br /><br />Im always aware of the symptoms when I do get bitten ..but so far.. no trouble for me... phew !Donny Wilcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870230737605632977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451251882011175955.post-69678280452625375962012-04-28T11:53:32.992-07:002012-04-28T11:53:32.992-07:00Nice Pictures Donny.
