My son's friend

Tweet

My son's friend came by unexpectedly yesteday after school. We moved out in the country and my son has just started to adjust to things after almost a year and he's made friends here and there from school. This boy lives down the road from us. He came over and wanted to hang out with my son so they ended up playing outside for awhile then came in and played a couple video games in my son's room. When the boy entered in the house he had his dog with him. We started noticing these woodticks crawling around our floor in the living room then on my son and on his friend. Woodticks creep me out bigtime and I can't stand them. I get the heebee geebees from them. I'm guessing the dog picked up a lot more than the kids did. After my son's friend went home, my son got in the shower and I checked his hair for more ticks and found one sucking blood on his head Gross so I had no choice but to pick it off and flush it down the toilet. While he was in the shower, my hubby and I searched my son's room for woodticks and found about six of them crawling on his bed, pillows and walls. Gross! My son has brown carpet in his room and it's difficult to see them so this morning I checked him to make sure he was tick free and sent him off to school but when he got home, he was watching tv and said.. look mommy another woodtick and it was crawling on his hand. He went and flushed it. I hate those pests! Woodtick season is in now and it will last till the end of July. A long two months of these to deal with! Yuck
