Time ticks. In the state of Maine a humble farmer quote us: “If it’s less than a six tick day, I must be slacking off.” The length of any outdoor project can be measured by the number of parasites that can attach themselves to your body while you are executing it.

Weeding a grass lawn on my hands a knees a microscopic tick crawls up my pants. Nestled around my belly button. I returned inside to feel this itch. Could not see the tiny beast until I got out a magnifying glass and tweezers.
There are more to replace this one. Sand ticks on my dog, red black, orange a rainbow color of tucks. There is a Global Lyme Alliance site that reports the virus spreading Lyme disease. A friend got Lyme disease on Long Island from bite of lone star tick. She became allergic to meat. I hope you carry a magnifying glass. Useful ti see and even light a fire if matches run out.
(I clicked the ‘like’ button, but I don’t actually like ticks!!!)
It is a bit frightening, how quickly they seem to be spreading, and in so many different places, too. Those tiny ones are a nightmare in Scotland in spring, but at least they can’t spread Lyme, as far as I’m aware, being at too young a stage to have become infected. Sometimes, if you place your hand on the ground for just a second, it comes back with dozens of them crawling over it. Not very pleasant!
I have a 25x folding loupe/naturalist’s magnifying glass, which sits in my pocket (in a small leather coin pouch, which also contains glasses cleaning cloths) every day. In my phone case is another Fresnel lens too and, when I’m out in the woods, I have a much larger and heavier ring magnifier. Making fire with these is so quick on a sunny day, and much less effort than a bow or hand drill!
You magnify the subject matter very well. Never know when you need to read fine print or see something on a map. Very together on your part. I don’t know anyone who likes ticks. They would make a horrible pet.
Ha! Now I am actually wondering if there are people who keep ticks as pets, and how they feed them?! I used to keep beetles as a child, but at least they only ate other beetles and insects…
Perhaps, in this world of ours, there’s a gap in the market for selling ticks as pets… (Not really! Eugh.)
My old housemate had a bearded dragon, and I remember the time his cricket storage failed… we found them for days and days after, in all manner of places.
I had cut tabs once. Not the kind in the groin but three ocean small rock crabs. They climbed out of my aquarium at night found two, one at top of a window curtain and another under a chair. Never found the third one. Maybe it hitchhiked back to the ocean where I returned the other two. Crabs are like giant ticks. Maybe sell ticks to Tick Tock and have A I enlarge them as a nightmare that attacks you like crabs in the groin. A new horror story in the making. Happy Halloween.

Had a pet tarantula , Dr. Tran. Ate a lot of crickets. Only tick researchers would have ticks, but not as pets. Little vampires.
