We purchased a $77 tick today and then destroyed it!
More details, please, you ask!!!
O.K. I found a tick on Jared this morning and it appeared to have burrowed into his skin without much left remaining to be seen. I looked on the internet and you have to have a doctor remove one that is under the skin, so Chad took him in for me.
The nurse practitioner didn't know much about ticks so she brought in the doctor who asked for tweezers and commenced to pull the tick off of Jared (the job we usually do!). It happened to be a teeny tiny tick that was not under the skin, only a portion of the size we usually find, which is why I thought it was under his skin. The doctor and nurse practitioner actually commended me on finding it because it was so small.
It seems like a waste of money, but I would rather lose a little money on the precautionary side than lose my son from the alternative. (Ticks can be very dangerous!!!)
I thank the Lord for His protection on my Jared! :)

Reading this story brings back memories of when I got a tick. My grandma was brushing my hair an noticed it. Back then, of course, there was no internet to guide in how to get rid of a tick. I do remember many methods were used including the trusty tweezer as well as a burning cigarette. (No wonder the memory is so vivid!)
