Oh, I HATE and freak out over ticks. I didn't used to, but seems like the last few years every time I find one on me it's one of the tiny ones and already attached. Our first summer here I ended up with about 6 crawling on me one day and about 7 or 8 the next day, from the yard and bushes around the house. By the 2nd day I was nearly shrieking 'get it off me'. Eww, is right. Your difficult angle was well worth the work, sorry about the tick.

we've always lived where they are but they're not common in California - and we don't have the lyme's disease problem so badly as back east so we didn't freak...but both had attached, mine was big and took some strong encouragement to release :laughing: luckily Cait's was tiny with tiny jaws so it came right off. We stuck them to tape and brought them home with us, just in case either of us started showing "symptoms"...

One or two in over fifty years is nothing but I do not think I could maintain my "cool" if I found that many on me in a day either!!! :faint:

LOL, so sorry! My daughter found a tiny one crawling on her a day or so ago - couldn't figure out where she got it as she hadn't been outside for all day :laughing: She had finally emptied out her suitcase from our trip so I told her we imported it from North Carolina :giggle:

LOL, oh, that's rich, as if your local ticks weren't interesting enough, she had to bring one with her. And I suppose it just wanted to see a little more of the world! I'm wearing my capris for watering this morning so I can watch out for the crawlies and nab 'em if they show up.

I always end up with a tiny raised itchy bump after they bite, me, too, and the feel of those little legs wiggling after you discover them.....yew! Luckily we haven't had any after James sprayed the yard, knock on wood!

:bug: I had a little bump but no itch (I was way too itchy from the mosquitoes :laughing:) but I know that paranoid feeling of anything moving on your skin after you find one...what do you spray with?

I'm not sure what James has been spraying with. Malathion? I did do a bit of searching, scratching and researching last night...and yanked off the jeans I had been watering in and tossed them in the laundry. We've been so busy that we haven't mowed in several weeks. Of course it's been sooooo hot and rainless most of the time that the only grass that was growing was mostly near my watering spots and a couple other areas. So there were a couple areas with grass over my ankles and a leafy area that I walked through. Must have been one of those areas. When we moved here, when I first ran into the ticks here, the house had been empty and the grass allowed to get out of hand. I think that has a bit to do with the invading ticks.
