You will never look at poppy seed muffins the same way again.
Here are the five ticks just in case you couldn't spot them in the photo. They're the poppy seeds with legs.
I have so many questions for the CDC. Where did you get the ticks? Are they dead? Where did you get the muffin? What did you do with it afterwards? Why would you do this?
The most disappointing part is the ticks aren't even that hard to spot because they are all clustered together in one spot of the muffin top. If you're going to post a tick-spotting exercise that ruins one of America's favorite breakfast pastries, at least make it a little more challenging.

The CDC might've been trying to show that ticks are small and easy to miss, but their use of a muffin to illustrate this point just ended up grossing everyone out.
The photo was clearly intended to educate people about spotting ticks so they could prevent bites and reduce their risk of infection with tick-borne illnesses. However, most people missed the point because, well, one of the best muffins is now ruined and it's impossible to look at poppy seeds without thinking of bugs.

Still, it doesn't change the fact that poppy seed muffins, breads, bagels, and buns are ruined forever.
Thank you, CDC.
