Ticks and clothes lines

I’ve just come home from vacation. This was a family vacation, with some of the immediate family and some of the extended family close by, each in their own place.

I brought Pusur. Let’s just say I’ll find an alternative next year… But anyway, each night I checked him for ticks and never found any.

But my mom caught one! On her butt!!!!

Best guess is that a tick got into one of her knickers (under pants) as they were hanging drying on a clothes line at the edge of a thicket with several large trees.

Ouch!

I had a special tick remover pincers, so got it out. It was alive and kicking after the fact. Her butt sports a large red area.

Moral of the story? Be careful with hanging your clothes out to dry in tick related areas!
