Thank you for making this informative and fun. It is perfect to introduce tick safety to young Cub Scouts, before they start their outdoor adventures. Gumby would be proud of this video !

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! I live in Florida and we are finding a LOT of ticks on us. So following the protocol for the last few days. But I didn't understand the life cycle and could visualize it. This was SO HELPFUL. Thanks again!

Tweezers are not the best! The mouth often breaks off ! The pincher twisting tool is safest .

The point of your comment is?
It's an educational video. Great video for children.
Here is another educational fact. The ticks were made from play-doh, not play do.
One may criticize, only to be criticized themselves.
