Male and swollen female tick in a bowl

A video of a male (small one) and a female (big one) tick in a bowl. I've found these ticks on my dog.
Note how the small tick is unbelievably strongly attached to the top of the bowl! - I shook him down after many strong tries of shaking bowl.

Well, much depends on how you put things up for your self. Getting Lime Disease or Meningitis and not knowing it can be very expensive, and not only for your wallet.

It must suck to have to pay for health care.

ick, they do have a bug spray that includes repelling ticks.

@RoderickStrong Actually, Lyme disease is named after the town in Connecticut where it was first discovered.

@bdopudja It's actually spelled LYME diease, not like the fruit. It's named after the doctor who discovered it.

If you have a red aggressive area where the tick bit... you should go to the doc, it's not usually nessesairy(sp`?) to got to the doc unless the inflammation occurs

Unbelieveable. I hate those little creeps. One was crawling on me just this morning (I was doing stuff outside yesterday and we have a lot of tall grass now). I don't think I was bitten. He was still a little guy anyway. But seriously...I think I'd rather have a spider crawling on me than a tick.
