          really? i think it's pretty clever! (and it actually was quite helpful - i've been doing tick checks on the toddler ever night and now i know the size of what i'm looking for!)

          That's good ! I appreciate a different point of view on it. I think it kind of ruins the muffins. I've seen other displays of tick size so often, perhaps I'm jaded. Good job for doing that tick check. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

          Yeah, we just moved to Loudoun County! (Also, the John Deere place can't seem to get our lawn tractor delivered!) But LOL, yes, we do the tick check every night, even if we didn't play outside, just to keep the toddler in the habit!

          I made some tick tubes too! But not enough for our property and I was a little late putting them out. Hopefully I'll do better in July. And get treated dryer lint into all the birdhouses next spring. I want even early enough to clean them this year, birds were in the end of Feb!

          because that's the only time they're small like that but they're always sneaky they'll be on you and you won't even know it until you fall asleep and then suddenly have to take.

          This was a brilliant idea! Folks may be complaining, but their complaints are making this tweet go viral. They are actually helping to get this very important message out to others! Way to go CDC! 🤣😂 🕷️ (I know it's a spider😀)

          All these people worried about poppyseed muffins now when most of the food they eat has much worse than ticks in/on it 😂

          Got your attention though, didn’t it? Very effective for bringing awareness.
