lone start tick sighting
Now for a scary sighting...
I thought I was seeing things this morning, but no, there it was, a lone star tick crawling up a pants leg. I wasn't wearing it at the time as the pants were thrown over a rack in my room. It must have latched on somewhere from a recent hike on the Eno River, or out in the garden? Has anyone else seen these recently? I had never seen this type of tick before. Very distinctive. The long probiscious (sp?) sticks out from the body and it has that dot of silver on the back. I found a link that shows the difference between the lone star and more common dog tick. A good photograph for anyone interested. http://www.ent.iastate.edu/imagegal/...fanddvarf.html Sorry, I did NOT save the tick. Joy in Durham |
