Re: What do ticks look like
Willoughby had a tick I found on him last night *puke*. There was no mistaking it. Brown little legs and a big fat grey body.
I had a right job trying to get it off him as I didn't have any pointy nose tweezers. Finally got the little sucker out whole though.
If you ever do find one on him, do NOT pick it or squeeze it, that can make them regurgitate back into the bloodstream and cause infections and diseases.
You need to grab it by the head without squeezing it and pull hard and fast. Some people say to twist it clockwise? as it comes out, others say don't twist as you could break it...
Ugh I feel sick again!
