It’s the kind of demonstration that really latches on and sticks with you.

They just need to lie down on the floor. The tick will find them.

This is why we bring the potentially infections thing in a vial. I’d be ok that it be dead as well. What did we learn?

I can’t imagine that they brought an infected tick, but it’s still got to be embarrassing as all hell.

There was a story I heard that the same thing happened at my high school, only what they brought was a bag of pot to teach us of the dangers of reefer. Some of it escaped.

What a lousy presentation!
