Tick Tally = 6

I had been back in the bush (from a lovely  and relaxing long-weekend away in Johannesburg) for all of 6 hours before one of them latched itself fimly onto my leg… why me?

Claire’s Tick Tally = 5

I can’t believe I’ve removed 5 (5!) ticks alraedy this season! My last little friend hitched a ride after I spent a while trudging through the african wilderness flushing wild dogs from their resting spot in dense bush…

Eww. That seems the only appropriate thing to say.

And for want of a photo of my own very tick, here’s a photo I got from google… just to illustrate…

Eww. Again.
