That's interesting. The other day a co-worker and I were discussing what the Public Health department here recommends when removing ticks. They give out these nifty little tool things that you can never find when you need them. Funny ticks seem to the topic of the day.

Don't need a fancy tool for removing ticks. A pair of tweezers works fine.
