...tick's body and as close to your skin as you can and gently pull out the tick. Be sure not to squeeze or crush the tick, as that can force its insides into your body as well.

Most important, don't delay getting medical help if you develop a fever or rash. Both Ehrlichiosis and Lyme disease are easily cured...
WILD THINGS If you happen to be around caves or attics this summer, consider this: bats that bite are twice as likely to carry rabies as bats that don't. Just like infected raccoons and other animals, rabid bats act aggressively and lose their natural fear of humans. The message?

And this "trying" doesn't mean you need to harass everyone who smiles at you--just remember that if there's a choice between silence and saying hello in the friendly first weeks of your first year, say hello. Except to people in Cabot Library. They sometimes bite when disturbed. And, if you're determined--like I was--to make the very most out of your Golden Ticket, remember that you haven't made the most out of Harvard University if you come out book-smarter but otherwise unchanged. Your friends will help you add another dimension...
