Pictured is a dog tick, also known as a wood tick, freshly removed from my youngest DD.I love spring, but I hate the ticks that come with it!
Just a friendly reminder that the best way to remove ticks is with a pair of tweezers. Grasp tick as close to your skin as possible without squeezing the tick's body and gently pull out without twisting. DO NOT apply vaseline, nail polish or anything else to the tick to get it to back out.
Read the American Lyme Disease Foundation's website for more info on ticks and Lyme disease.
