Killer Ticks

"Ancient Little Vampires!"

All through the month of April, Minnie will help me explore the people, places and things that WE call creepy, strange and downright weird. To be honest, Minnie finds almost everything creepy and strange so having the entire alphabet at our disposal is going to be a challenge. You might find what we discover delightful, or you may agree with us. Please share your opinions either way. Have fun road-tripping the Alphabet by visiting others doing the challenge as well. To find out more on the A-Z blogging challenge follow the link.

Killer Ticks 

Just the mention of ticks make my skin crawl! I am not a big fan of bugs or insects but growing up in Minnesota I have picked my fair share of blood sucking creatures from my body. Leeches are disgusting but wood ticks are by far the worst. They are not always so easy to spot as they hide in your hair and feast on your blood. I always knew these little creatures were dangerous and could carry disease but now there are killer ticks on the loose in Japan. Watch this video (which I also find creepy) and learn more, that is if you dare!

Do you have ticks where you live? What kind of bugs or insects creep you out?
