[MR] Tick bites and disease

[Gina Shelley]

Ha! That makes sense, although if you were nude, there ARE place they might hide, although lack of clothing would help. 

 

Just about every time I have had one it was where my waistband would hit. Although they like getting in people's hair or behind their ears, too. 

 

Weirdest place I ever saw one was the one I pulled off my sister's thigh. Just right there on a broad expanse of bare, exposed skin. Not the usual place you find them. 

 

If you find yourself with an intense, persistant itch, check that spot for ticks. I feel that itch, I don't even have to check to see, I KNOW I have been nailed by one of the nasty buggers when I feel that.
