| Ticks aren't something to sneeze at, so to speak. Have a friend whose daughter has just been diagnosed with Lyme Disease. We all knew something has been wrong for about a year. They have gone from doc to doc. Now it is in her brain. Haven't heard yet what the prognosis is. It's a scary disease because it is so hard to diagnose.

| It just seems strange that there would be 3 on the plane! And I'm wondering how the passengers spotted them. If they were planted - this is a form of terrorism. And if people start planting things like this on planes how are they going to screen for these??

| How very bizzare! The news article was lacking in info, wasn't it? I, like you, am wondering how it came to be noticed. Was it like, "Uh...stewardess, I see a tick over there" or what??!! Or maybe "Ummm... I see three ticks over there."..... Were they all in the same place or were they in different areas of the plane? Did they do a tick search to find that there were three? I could ask so many more questions. LOL |

I have yet to watch "Snakes on a Plane". Too scary for me. Ticks on a place is really scary. You can barely see some of them they are so small. Strange and gross! I'm am happy you weren't on that plane as well. | |

| That's crazy and gross...but a six hour delay?? Seems like they could have cleaned the plane and checked for ticks while in flight..
