This Halloween when you see vampires and zombies, remember that nature can be the best at being gross.  A recent post in the New York Times includes a video that helps explain how the ticks that carry Lyme disease are able to attach and remain on the skin for days with their unique, saw-like mouthparts.  You can read the full article and see the video here.
