Now that's a start to a Monday morning...

Eeewwwww!! X| I will never in any circumstances touch the hair ( and accompanying ticks) of my colleagues.
Watched code never compiles.
Now, I can understand not touching the feet of co-workers (and T. is wearning the thing I hate most--sandals to work today), but clean hair? Maybe since I'm a girl and hair is slightly important it's not as big of a deal to me.
Yeah, I need to update this. Darn Judge Judy reruns! http://CraptasticNation.blogspot.com/[^]

I think the tick was also having a "case of the Mondays" so getting removed from a blood source and being crushed to oblivion may have been a relief.

I thought afterwards I probably should have sent her to a designated 1st responder, but I have basic medical training (including handling bloodborne pathogens) so I really didn't think twice about it--other than, "Wow. What a way to start a Monday."

Is Lyme's disease an issue in the States? If so make sure that your patient is aware of its existence. I have a friend who removed a tick while climbing in Scotland - he was really ill a while later but not thinking the tick was related didn't think to tell the doc and so went undiagnosed for some time.

I've been at my desk for about a 1/2 hour with my co-worker T. comes in. The first thing she says? "Leckey! I think I have a tick on my head! Can you get it off?" Yep, it was a tick. Good thing T. carries around a pair of tweezers. I broke into the 1st aid kit and people started freaking out that I was wearing blue nitrile gloves--like I'm doing surgery. Maybe they shouldn't keep the first aid kit next to the coffee machine. I have a feeling it's going to be a long week.

Yes, it's a huge issue, but not so much where we live in the Great Plains. I think it's more isolated to the eastern 1/3 of the United States but there have been a few cases where we live. She had the H1N1 flu last October so her immune system is still a bit weak so I think she's going to have tests done shortly to make sure.

I'm used to the term nit, but not sure if that is common in the US. BTW, I love how you quote yourself if your sig!

I am so on board with that. It seems that where I live, even in the depths of winter, the standard attire for teenage girls is flip-flops (or called shower-shoes sometimes).

And that's the difference between men and women. If it would've been two guys, the dude without tick probably would've said "suck it up wuss" and they both go about their merry ways.

I use that when I want me and Michelle (my wife) to leave somewhere, we will often say to one another "Shall we apply The Skedaddle Technique?".
