The ICK factor...

This. Is a TICK. A Brown Dog Tick, to be specific. With EGGS.

The receptionist at work is a creative genius, and has a pleasantly twisted sense of humor. She has been collecting ticks from grooming dogs, and putting them into (ready?) a TIC TAC box. The box is placed on the counter near the register, with a little sign that says, "It's flea and tick season, don't forget to buy Frontline." Sales have rocketed, and customers are fascinated and repulsed by our little collection. This morning we were all amazed to see that one of the ticks had laid eggs. None of us had ever seen tick eggs before. And really, it will be fine with me if I never see them again.

This concludes our "yuck" blog for the day.
