The Not So Wonderful Wildlife....

So.....I threw Big Brother in the tub tonight to wash off a day's amount of dirt and sweat, and what was this on his back....ew...a spider! I'll just pour some water on it and it will wash off then I can kill it. Wait a minute...it's not coming off....it's stuck? Oh crap....It's a TICK!

Why these things happen when Daddy is gone I'll never know.
So...leave it to the Mama to handle it

I remember my Mama saying to light a match, blow it out, then put the hot match on the nasty little things butt....no good, he continued to enjoy the sweet meat of my son, ok....time to call Daddy.

Daddy..." Did you look up online what to do?" Of course not! Why would I do the easiest thing?
So off to the computer I go.....Pull it out carefully....great....

After removal place tick in freezer...are they crazy!...What, are we going to have a cookout? Wheres the sauce!

Ok, so I carefully removed it, put it in a bag and into the freezer it went, and now Big Brother wants to keep it as a pet. Hmmmmm......Don't think so!

Nasty little things, but....I guess it's better than getting bit by something more dangerous!

  1. So, did you hide your panic when you found the tick so he wouldn't panic? I can remember mom pulling one out of my head in the same way! YE_UCKK! All the vitamins in those yummy raspberry popcycles should thwart any germs........I hope! haha
    Love ya, Auntie JJ
