Years ago, when our kids were young, my wife and I had purchased some land. It was Spring and we were walking about, as you do. The baby started fussing and we noticed she was absolutely covered in ticks! We quickly got them off and put her in the vehicle, then noticed that both of us had hundreds (yes, hundreds, and that might be low) of various sized ticks on us!
Now, I don't freak out very easily, but this did it. Before I knew it, both my wife and I were stripped down to our undies trying to brush off ticks! Finally got some duct tape from the car, rolled it up backwards and started getting them off. After we got them down to a reasonable number (maybe under 20 or so), we soon realized that we were standing almost naked in the middle of a pasture!
Sadly, this was NOT the only time in my life I realized I was about naked out in the plain open! Another story, I guess...
