Super Sam Santhuff
"His journey started Aug. 26, 2013.
"Sam, his father, Matt, and twin sister, Ava, picked blackberries earlier that month and came back home covered in seed ticks. Sam was covered with the most - more than 100 - and about five or six were found on Sam's head. At first, Sam thought he had more freckles.
'"Ava said something like, "Sam, you're freckles are moving,'" Cassie Santhuff told the Fulton Sun in January.
"Fearing he could become sick from the bites, Cassie took Sam to the doctor who told Matt and Cassie to apply lotions.
"Cassie and Sam shared a laugh as she applied the lotions, and Sam's head went back while chuckling. That's when Cassie saw a bump inside Sam's nose less than the size of a pea, but it grew bigger." ~ Fulton Sun September 20th, 2014
