It's arse was waving about in the air, surely it would have to go right in to lay eggs?

You can tell if there’s eggs in there cos it goes very itchy.

Just got out of the shower and thought there was a little scab on the bottom of my leg, pulled it off and the little bugger started walking round my hand. We've been to Arran and did a bit of walking but left on Saturday, I think it's been there since at least Friday. Am I going to die?

If its been in there since Friday it would have been embedded. Pulling it out would have killed it, plus it would have been quite big with blood. If it came out and walked it was recent so would be nothing at all to worry about.

Bushy Park, my local is filled with deer, it's also filled with ticks which wait on the ferns for warm blooded hosts to pass, notices in the park about Lyme disease.

We were in Glasgow on Saturday and came home yesterday, I can't think of anywhere else I could have caught it but Arran?

I say nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Never put alcohol on a tick it’s a waste of good drink!!

Ticks are in long grass, they can be carried by birds or other small mammals, the dog picked one up walking around Hamsterley Forest. No stags there.

 

[Ron Seal]

Try and catch Lemon Disease. The perfect combo in this warm weather.

Too soon to tell, the good news it would have been female as they are easy to dislodge, the bad news is the female lays eggs and lots of them.
When the little bastards hatch they take a Thorpe Park waterslide ride heading for the Aorta valve, if they make it through the rapids the heart can go into palpitations, go see a cardiologist quick smart,
