Me and my gf really love being in the nature on weekends. We're heading to different places every weekend lately.
Well my gf got a fukin tick on her.. the bastard bite her, i had to remove it. Yesterday she asked me to scratch her back and i did vigourously over her clothes... we didnt know it was a tick until this evening.
Now we're super nervous because those things can gives you Lyme disease...
