I have one of those Tick Keys, will you be coming with ticks attached to yourself in various stages of engorgement so I can practice removal?

I take my dog for daily walks through the woods. I*m picking anywhere from 1 to 4 off him each day. It*s the worst year I can remember for ticks.

Only if you buy me ice cream afterwards.

I've pulled something like 10 dog ticks off of me during three walks over the past week. I didn't pull off 10 ticks all of last year!!! The mild winter really kept tick mortality down.
