For Sassy,   but i needed to put some on me...   I have picked around 5 ticks off of me,  aaaccckkkk   One had tried to imbed itself in my hairline at the back of my head....            I can handle a lot of things on me but a tick ain't one of em......        Since Sassy is always as close to me as she can get, the ticks pick the next best source of blood and that would be me...  I had two of them on me last night in bed... I felt them crawling....       It's amazing what happens to a tick in an ashtray with a bic....lol

The woods this time of year is a tick haven...   they literally drop out of the trees on ya...     

OMG,  i would've freaked!! 

that reminds me the time when i was a child... and i felt a bump on my head...for a day or two, and i kept telling grandma or grandpa, there's a bump on my head... i was probably about 6 or 7 years old...   They didn't think nothing of it....  then finally i told grandpa again,...  "theres something on my head and it's a little bump".... So finally grandpa looked, and pulled it out of my head and it was crawling on his hand... and he was laughing his a** off!  I ran from him... and was hurt when he was laughing like that....  remember i was just a little girl...   and of course, i wouldn't do anything with grandpa for the rest of the night.  i didn't think anything was funny about that....   and the odd thing was... grandpa was a doctor!  that goof!

I use advantix, so far it hasn't been bad at all this year....  *knock on wood*
