Harsen's Island Souvenir

Hannah's class went to Harsen's Island for a field trip to the Stewart Farm last week, and we received an email to check for ticks.  My mom did a check that night, but didn't see any.  On Monday, Hannah got off the bus and said she felt a bump in her hair.  I looked and it was a tick.  We went home and I removed it with a tweezer, and did a search and found a second one on her scalp.  Those ticks are not easy to pull out - they are really attached. I sent pictures to our pediatrician, and they were worried that she had deer ticks which carry Lyme Disease, so she is on a two week course of antibiotics 3x a day.  I think that will be our last trip to Harsen's Island.
