Hey do you guys have ticks where you live? A friend of ours got bit by a tick and she has lyme disease now! She got bit over a year ago so now it looks like she's going to be infected for the rest of her life, it's worse than having HIV basically, it's really scary. You apparently need to be treated very quickly once you have been bitten by the tick otherwise there is no cure. :(
Yep, way too many deer around here, even within the DC boundaries. Deer love parks (and there are so many parks around here), and they carry ticks around. Had to check all of my kids after walking through the woods for a few miles from the back of my house.
When I was a kid, my Mom always warned of ticks, occasionally checking me and found some on my thighs a couple times. I loved to explore the woods when I was growing up, always playing outside everyday, and went rock hunting or fossil hunting with my Granddaddy into deep wilderness, but then that was when I got a tick in the strangest place - where my Mom would never find it. After a few days, I was feeling irritiation - and finally figured that it was a tick under my balls.
Wow, didn't know Lyme disease was THAT serious.
Ok with science that the big bang theory requires that fundamental scientific laws do not exist for the first few minutes, but not ok for the creator to defy these laws...
