Are you doing tick checks after you’ve been outside? The Tree Frog news has carried several stories on ticks over the last week. Yesterday I was surprised to discover that I had a tick on my leg. If it weren’t for bites in the area, I never would have seen the tick. It was so tiny, less than a millimeter. If you swipe these pictures, you will get a sense of just how small it was. But thanks to the , I followed all the recommended procedures, saved the tick, reported it to the website , https://www.etick.ca/and the urgent care in town has sent the body off for analysis. If I hadn’t been wearing my glasses, I might not have noticed it! The nymph stage is so tiny.

I’m standing in front of a mural in Chemainus that shows J.A. Humbird on the left and H.R. Macmillan on the right. Humbird built the Chemainus sawmill that HR bought in 1944. Ironically, we named our green Subaru Forester HR, and my top matches Humbird’s bow tie!!
