I'd be freaking, too. Do you have a high incidence of Lyme's down there? It's rampant up here. My parents' dog died from Lyme's, God rest his doggy soul. I found a tick on me last week in the shower - on my back. I thought it was a pimple and I scratched. It came off in my hand with its gross little wiggling legs. And yes - I also FREAKED! Ugh! I’d be freaking, too.

Do you remember we had to check your head every night for ticks (and for those of you who have ever seen Lisa's thick head of hair, that was no easy task!). I used to soak a cotton ball with alcohol, hold it over the tick, then take tweezers and gently pull them out. I don't know if the alcohol smothered them, or caused them to back out, but it seemed to work on you. Funny how things seem to come full circle, isn't it? :) After all the ticks we found in your head, I can’t believe you freaked out!
