Blood Sucking

Blip makes you think differently. Normally when I discovered something gorging on my blood, my reactions were always much of a muchness - some variant on the theme of running around and shrieking "GET IT OFF ME". However, as I now Blip my first thought was "so that's today's Blip sorted then".

I discovered this little chap (a tick in English und eine Zecke auf Deutsch) busily sucking on the underside of my arm this morning and after his final photograph, he was plucked (mouth parts and all) and dispatched with some alacrity. I, being the brave and hardy soul that I am, now have my arm in a sling and have not been looking up Lyme Disease on Wikipedia and freaking out because that's (headache, nausea and fever) exactly how I'm feeling right now... Oh, pass the tea-tree oil someone.
