Oh my god, I HATE ticks! I went fishing the other day and had one crawling on me. I gagged, threw a fit, swung and brushed at it a few times, and finally had to flick the stupid thing off. I have special tick-proof pants that I wear while hunting, but they're way too warm to wear even during the spring. I'd LOVE to get guineas to eat the monsters out of the yard and wood lot beside us, but the BF hates the noise they make (and I assume the neighbors would just *love* it, lol).
