Yes, I think it's The Learning Channel.

It's TLC, and I've missed it. However they usually play twice at night. I'll see if it's on before I need to go to bed.

Thanks! Be interested to know.
Did anyone see it?

They were in a total quandary about what to do. Just watching it suck blood from the youngest child for a while.
Then they decided to burn the tick on his stomach to kill it. Then they used tweezers to remove but not the right way. They left the head in.
The big twin then spouts some baloney about the head going through your blood to your heart and growing back into a tick which could eat you alive. Then they got the head out.
No mention of Lyme disease at all!!!! They did not take it seriously. I just hope the kid was lucky and didn't get a tick like mine.
Also, the mom mentions she never saw a tick in before.

Oh geez, that's awful. I know this show and have watched it off and on. Maybe someone will contact them or a friend will tell them to get on abx for a short while... or at least watch for symptoms...
