It must have been when I peed in the bushes this weekend...

Because that tick on my asscheek-thigh junction was mistaken for an irritation bump. I was brushing off what I thought would be a scab.

Looked at the 'scab' to find it was a brown tiny deer tick squirming between my fingertips.

Warning to all that squat near the ground this year: they strike at your most vulnerable time this year it seems!

Isolated him for analysis... m***** f*****

Confucius say: man who squat in brush get ticked off.

Carnac say: Better to be ticked off than ticked on.

Sweet G’roll, let me play older sister for a sec: find the right person to administer wound care ;)

Deer ticks are so small you can barely see them, and they're red.

Is this how the "I caught it from a toilet seat" excuse got started?

Sbhikes is tough... I think one time she said she used pine cones for toilet paper.

That's hard core now.

From e-medicine health website -

"In order to investigate whether specific human behavior increases the risk of tick exposure, researchers from the University of California at Berkeley took to the woods. They found that sitting on a log carried with it the greatest risk of picking up a tick. If you sit on a log (at least in Northern California) for only five minutes, you have a 30% chance of getting a tick on you! Gathering wood was also cited as a risky activity as well as leaning up against a tree."

I remember reading this a few years back, but then also saw a web documentary showing what seemed like a million tiny ticks hanging from branches with their claws waving in the air awaiting a critter to pass. That was a little hairy to watch.

I do recall sitting on a log in NJ near BML road and seeing about a half a dozen dog ticks crawling on the log. It was a little freaky. that day we were only dayhiking but I think we pulled 6-8 ticks off my wife son and myself, including one crawling up my leg as I was driving home.

I think I'm doomed to have Lyme disease. Today I found a tick on my change from an in town pizza shop. Another half hour and it would have traveled from my pocket to places I'd rather not contemplate.

Ewwww... Yes, let us not contemplate.

Looked up photos and depending on the sex and stage of the tick, it can be brown in parts! I looked at that sucker closely (had to put it under glass) and it has a reddish head and a browner body.
