Woodtick stroke therapy

At the visit to a northern Minnesota cabin and land, numerous woodticks were pulled off of clothing.  The challenge was to feel them on the affected side crawling up your body.  I noticed two on my leg, but one got all the way to the back of the neck before being noticed. If you need even more challenge ask your therapist to provide mosquitos and see if you notice their tiny legs walking on your skin. For extra challenges see if you can feel the tiny air movement of the wings beating before they land. That will tell you that you have fully recovered sensation. Your therapist should know how many mosquito bites will be necessary before you become proficient at noticing them before they bite.
