When we lived in LA we took a trip to Minn one summer with our young children. Upon return two weeks later my daughter complained of gum stuck in her hair on her neck. The wife investigated and recoiled in horror. Huge blood swollen tick. The pediatrician got out his "how to" manual , never having seen one. They numbed her and cut it out. They are supposed to drop off and die (with eggs) when they get to that state. Origin of "happy as a tick?" :laughing:
