"But the tick proved to be tenacious. In October, it was found to have completely infested the paddock.
The infestation was so bad that the ticks began crawling on the pants of investigators soon after they were inside the paddock. The ticks numbered in the hundreds and had concentrated "mostly on the sheep's ears and face," according to a paper by Rutgers, the Hunterdon County Department of Health and Smithsonian Institution.
Investigators found that the critters, in all life stages, had swarmed both the sheep and its paddock. The sheep had never been outside the U.S., so how the tick got there is unknown. The sheep later died, most likely from an unrelated cause."

Ticks are hellacious critters.
One summer the whole family picked up a mass of ticks.
After the strip search, we put all the clothes in the washer, then dryer...
Still, living ticks clinging to the clothes coming out of the dryer!
Then we moved up to chemical warfare.

LOL. They must have read the book, Tips for Ticks - How to Survive Washer and Dryer Combat.

To: curdogmen
Can you still say chiggers? Or is it chigroes?
My uncle in New Mexico had a nice lawn that us kids played on during a short visit. We were eaten up by chiggers.

Did none of your teachers in school ever teach you to label your photos before presenting them? For all I know, I’m looking at modern art
