NO WAY! Ew! Gross!

   Sigh, my morning plans went out the window.

 

You won't guess why, not in a month of Sundays.....don't read the end, I'll give you time to guess.

 

WRONG!

I'll give you Hint #1, has to with a critter, can you guess?

 

WRONG!

Hint, #2 has to do with a critter outside that I carried inside, it's not the cat.  Wanna guess again?

You might've guessed from that clue, but if you didn't, you're 

WRONG!

It attached itself to me last night.  Remember, nephew mowed yesterday, and as we took a break at the picnic table, he spied a groundhog moseying along looking for worms and grubs and things chucked up from the mowing.  So, grass was fresh, tree branches were bumped around, burrows were hunted, and a trap put in the brushes.

I'm sure you've guessed by now!

 

I woke up with my ear hurting.  I thought I'd slept on it bent and folded.  Then thought I had a white head or pimple.  Kept scratching and it keep hurting in a wider area.  So I angled around, bent my body funny, adjusted 2 mirrors, and voila!  The answer.  I had a contented, I'm-gonna-stay-here, satiated tick!

 

NO WAY!  EW, GROSS!  A TICK!!!!!! 

My whole ear was red and a bit swollen, it had been feasting for awhile. 

I couldn't get it, so I called brother.  He said, "Let me get out my tick kit." 

Tick kit!  Never heard of such a thing, what is a TICK KIT?

 

I got dressed and pulled in his drive to find he'd laid it all out on the hood of his truck!  There laid the container, the tweezers, the single wipe, the papers - he had it all laid out complete with identifying tick pictures.

He plucked, I felt relief, he sanitized the ear, we checked the tick against the pic making sure the head came away, too, and, nope, it's not the kind that causes lyme disease.  Shew! "Another one bit the dust!"  Well....this one bit me!

 

He said, "You have a black spot, let's see."

"Hold your head this way.  Let me have a closer look."  He's wearing his reading glasses.

 "It's nothing.  It's just tick poop."  EW!  GROSS!   DISGUSTING!  Tick poop!  TICK POOP!!!!

He gave it a good couple swipes with the alcohol wipe.  Thank goodness.

 

The next morning my ear swelling in down, the bite is healing, and the bug poop is gone.  I'm sure you wanted to know, you wanted to know that that was all cleared up, didn't you?

 

ROFLMHO  ha, ha, ha, ha, ha........

It was bad enough I had a tick, only had 3 in my life, and not one in over 40 years, it was bad enough I had a tick, but to know he'd been there awhile, long enough to poop?  I'm still totally grossed out  - -

TICK POOP!  EW!
