eel that it is my duty to warn all
hairy, grubby, and bearded
ividuals who work in the Tumbler

nches 'n' buns, arm pits and the
k of the neck above the hair line.
little beasties are not usually

what do you do about adopting one

a pet? Well, you can crawl

ough the underbrush and low lying

hes, shrubs or grass. Or, you can
it for your pet to come in from the
ly constitutional romp through the
is and over the neighbour's lawn.

, you can wait and let the kids

ing one home (or two or three).

last resort, you could order one
m Q.C.L. staff (the hairy, bearded

BS)

As

rs time to shop, they look like a
y/prown lady bug ... somewhat
Hller, with a flat shell instead of
mded. They have 6 legs, a pro-
wmced head and 54 teeth in the

ttom jaw ... big pointed ones.

pose you want to trade your bug in
want to re-sell it? The best way to
+ tem off is NOT to panic, scream and
wk the "sucker" off from your body
ting gobbs of flesh with it!! Relax!
y fuel such as B.B.Q. fluid, gasoline,
s1 oil, cleaning fluid or even

troleum jelly will do. Just dab it
the little begger and wait. He's

t going to do a handspring out back-
rds. Rather, he will finish the
rpuscle he's on, burp and back out
wwly causing agonizing tense moments
the kind host (that's you). Caution
ease! Don't smoke or do the fuel
novel around flames or sparks. Tet
other method of removal is a heated
edle or piece of wood held to the
k's backside. Usually this is

and then

hin.

TIC TOC (Cont'd.)

Thirdly, and certainly not last, are

my expert tick searching qualities
which can be had for a mere few pennies.
Frankly ... you'd suffer less trauma
with the tic.

Lastly, use some anticeptic on the
bite since the tick hosts a parasite
which in turn causes lock jaw or
Rocky Mountain Spotted fever. Sore
stiffness will develop from 3 days to
14 days after infection. Take your
stiff body down to see the Doctor
right away ... or it may get 4 whole
lot stiffer. If you're sure you've
been nibbled on by a tick then don't
hesitate to seek medical advice.

Incidently ... Spring is Here ...
just like I said it would be. Now
that's forecasting eh!!
