The adventures of Nicole and her in-laws, Part II

You might remember that I posted a few months ago about Nicole's mother-in-law, who visited her and Dave in Puerto Rico and spent the entire time whining that the presence of mosquitoes was all Nicole's fault. She then proceeded to tuck dryer sheets into every crevice of her clothing and body because she'd heard somewhere that mosquitoes don't like dryer sheets.

In any case the in-laws have returned for another visit, and as soon as they arrived the mom decided that a tick had burrowed its way into her ear or something, forcing Dave to take her directly from the airport to the doctor. From a gchat with Nicole:

Nicole: btw dave's parents are here and already his mom is convinced she has to go to a clinic to get a tick removed that she JUST discovered on the plane. so she is now at a pr walk in clinic. that is not going to go well
4:04 PM oh and they got here 2 hours ago

So as you can see from the timestamp, this was around 4 p.m. yesterday. At 6:56 p.m. I got the following text:

She's carrying the tick head in a baggie in her fannypack!


I haven't heard from her since.
