I am no longer a tick-virgin! It was just a small wee-bubby thing, and I got out the Vicks rub and smothered it for ten minutes, then wiped it off with a tissue. The poor thing just twitched a bit and then succumbed to that glorious menthol/eucalyptus fragrance.
But it was on my THIGH! How rude!!! It's okay, I think Karin's had leeches on her nipples. She wins hands down.
My very first tick bite! I am in awe. No doubt I will be spasming the rest of the night as I paranoidally check the rest of my body. It was only a baby, and I had a full three to five days before anything approaching paralysis or illness set in, but still! What an adventure!
I feel a little betrayed by Koondoola though. This sort of late night excitement isn't good for my milky (whatever) complexion, and my demure state of being.
*grins*
