TICK WARNING!

I hate it when people forward bogus warnings, and I have even done it myself a couple times unintentionally, but this one is real, and it's important. So please send this warning to everyone on your e- mail list.

If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks due to the warm weather and asks you to take your clothes off and dance around with your arms up, DO NOT DO IT!! THIS IS A SCAM!! They only want to see you naked.

I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid!

    You are right Ray - these scammers are everywhere.

    Why just Wednesday I was driving and stopped at a stop sign. Three gorgeous young guys that looked like Chipendale dancers and dressed only in brief bathing suits came
    out into the road and cleaned my windows for me - when I got home I found the bag
    of groceries in my backseat had been stolen.
    They did the same thing Thursday.
    I couldn't find them Friday.................

      This is NOT a scam. You have to know not only what to look for, but also where to look. It only affects young females, and those ticks can hide in the darndest places. They can be as small as a freckle, and undetectable with the untrained eye, according to this report:

      Tick Warning: Know What to Look For

      A visual and manual body scan by qualified males is the only way to detect and irradicate these dangerous disease-carrying ticks. Good-looking females especially are in good hands as volunteers are patroling affected neighborhoods. Just do not hestitate to remove your clothes and spin, until all ticks are squeezed out.

      Hungry again yet? I have tacos cooking. Front door is open.
      I have been exposed to ticks.

    My niece discovered a tick on her a couple of days ago so the warning is timely for Australia as well, it seems.
