Sheep Keds/Ticks/Julie Banks

Posted by: dhaley <dhaley@...>

Julie and other sheep folk,

A friend of mine just picked up all the wool that was sheared at a farm near
us (Julie, same place you got the llama). The owner had given her the wool
for free but when she got home and started to clean the wool it was full of
ticks. We have identified them as sheep ticks. About half the ticks are
alive and about half are dead.

1) Will the ticks injure humans? (I assumed not.)
2) Is this wool worth cleaning all the ticks out of or will it be so poor
quality it's not worth dealing with?

Thanks for your input....a speedy answer is appreciated as she dosen't
desire to raise ticks!...Deanna
