Has anyone heard of turkey ticks? Well my son "has" them. I think they are flea bites, but was taken to the Dr. and that is what he said they are. My son lives with his Dad and I am not sure what to do about them, they are all over his body. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Yuck, sounds horrible. My daughter got a sheep tick on holiday. It looked disgusting, fortunately she found it very funny. I toured the neighbourhood looking for someone with something to knock it out but failed. The next day we took her into town and took her to the chemist, lifted her shirt....and the blighter had had its fill and gone, leaving her with just a small bite like mark. Apparently she got it because she was wearing loose clothing (it being summer) and the tick couldn't resist the sight of bare skin. Hope you've had some luck with your problem too.
