Ticks

Today, I found a Tick attached to my back. I don't know how long it had been on my back, but it was dead. I pulled the creature off without any trouble. I now hope that I haven't recieved an infection from my unwelcome visitor. I have a great love for animals, but I am disgusted by creatures that try to feed on me. I suppose even Ticks must have some purpose in the web of life.
