We are under siege by ticks. Today Stuart had 4, I had a measly 1. We have now had 9 between us in less than a week. 
Stuart just went outside with medical scissors to cut off all his hair.
Also, apparently ticks are arachnids. Who knew?
UPDATE: As of 10:09, July 8th the official tick count is up to 11. Stuart – 8, Will – 3 (including one chowing down on Will’s arm). Today’s an office day and Stuart’s had 2 already. See the new “Official MLP Tick Tally” at the top right hand corner of the page. Let the best species win!
