Ticks on a Plane!

Filed under: Pests — anne @ 4:23 pm

Let me set the scene: a United Airlines flight from Denver to Des Moines is getting ready to go when, suddenly, alert passengers notice 3 ticks in the cabin.

According to United’s ever-unflappable Robin Urbanski, no ticks were found on anyone. However, the flight was delayed while a new, un-ticked jet was readied for service.

The Des Moines Register gave a fine description of this tick-ish mystery: “How the wayward arachnids got on the jet had not been determined.”

Okay, I have a couple of questions:

  • 1. What were the ticks doing? Just sitting around?
  • 2. Were there any dogs on board?
  • 3. How does anyone happen to notice “3 ticks in the cabin”?
  • 4. Were there any deer on board?
  • 5. Were the ticks ticketed?
  • 6. Why didn’t someone just stomp them?
