| That is just horrible for you and your baby!! I also heard that male ticks are no larger than a match head, so maybe that's what they are also. I hope she's feeling much better now that those nasty things are off of her, poor little girl! |

| Thanks. She never scratched or even acted like anything was ever bothering her. She is just glad that I am finished picking them off her. |

| My rehomed vicious Yorkie from Ajendas, arrived here full of them. They were huge and the vet had to remove them. I had never heard of them previously. The breeder told me he caught them on the plane. Yes, in a 2 hour flight they grew large. Jessica |

| Wow, that is unreal. Hannah must have gotten hers yesterday evening and I am glad they didn't grow too big before I found them today. |

| I want to thank you for the heads up waring...never seen this before, and never care to see again..sorry you did. Hope all is well now. They actually look like seeds, hence the name I assume.

| They are about a 1/3 the size of a sesame seed. This has been and still is a very bad day. I have always been one that keeps Hannah super clean. She does not even go outside to potty if it is raining or the grass is wet. I am a super neat clean freak and I am really freaking right now. I am going to have to take 2 benadryls and go to bed.... |
