So this year has been an exceptionally great year for ticks so far. I check myself even after just hanging laundry on the line and found one. It wasn't a big deal at all really, but today I found one in my kitchen sink. I'm pretty sure that it didn't come in with me or my laundry. It was just hanging out in the sink with the dirty dishes. So, now, of course, I'm freaking out that my house is infested with ticks and my chinchillas are going to get infected with Lyme's disease!!! I don't even know if that's possible?!? Can chinchillas get Lyme's disease?!? Will ticks even bother burrowing through all that fur to get to the skin?!?
