A mum was left horrified after discovering a blood-sucking tick on her son's head following a day out at a popular beauty spot. Eleonora Ambus had enjoyed a sunny walk with her seven-year-old son at John Muir Country Park in East Lothian on Sunday, April 9.
However, two days later the youngster started complaining of an itchy head, at which point Eleanor found the tiny insect feasting to his scalp. Thankfully, the quick-thinking mum was able to successfully remove the ravenous bug with tweezers, Edinburgh Live reports.
She told Edinburgh Live: "My seven-year-old boy had a tick on his scalp, on Tuesday night. He had been at John Muir Country Park on Sunday and Monday and the first time he complained about an itchy sensation was on Monday.
