Another Horrid Creature

After discussing my favorite neighbor and his fire ants, I thought I'd bring up something else that bothers me at this time of the year. Ticks are everywhere! I am currently removing an average of two ticks every single day.

These are the ticks that I have been removing, but there are several types of ticks which cause lyme disease. Remember the bull's eye rash is only one of the symptoms. You can contract the disease and not have this symptom. Do an internet search and identify the lyme carriers in your area! Know the different symptoms!
