Ticks

The Ozark Mountains are full of ticks! They were everywhere. You couldn't go outside without getting them on you and I even found one in the bathroom in our cabin. ICK! David got bitten by one and pulled it off. Since then it has been itching and has turned bright red and is about the size of a dime. There is no bull's eye so hopefully it is not Lyme Disease. We had to spary ourselves with insect repellant when we went outdoors but even then it seemed like we would find ticks. I had never seen any as tiny as some of them, about the size of a pinhead. I felt like something was crawlilng on me the entire week we were there. I only found one on myself and it was not attached but was crawling across my leg.
