Have you ever....been listening intently to instructions of a new task when you suddenly get "that itch." You slip your hand down, give it a little scratch, and you think nothing else of it. Then that itch comes back! After a series of itch-scratch repetitions, you realize it just ain't going away. So you slyly turn away from the group and take a peak below. This is the moment I knew....
I have ticks!! This particular one was a fatty on my right hip (first of two). The little,scabbish-looking thing seemed to be of no concern, then I realized it had legs. I experienced a minor internal panic while simultaneously struggling to pay attention to instructions. Then I realized the situation was kinda cool (pending no disease follows). I have never had a tick before. Hell, I thought I was immune. But now I have had not only my first tick, but also my first Australian tick! I've left boyhood and become a Manly Man. The last weekend previously was my weekend of cows, but now it's the weekend that gave me ticks!
But hey, at least I don't have crabs....or lice.
