RE: hows this for ticks
Good grief, just looking at that picture makes my skin crawl.
Everytime I catch a tick on my skin, it drives me crazy for days. I must have some kind of phobia about those filthy saprophytes, because I run the lice comb through my hair about 2-million times, then I'm constantly checking my hair, pawing at my face, imagining that I can feel them crawling up my neck, in my eyebrows, in my clothes. I've even had nightmares where my skin is crawling with them.
For some people it's spiders,bees, worms, bats, rats or mice - for me, it's ticks.
