Dear Ticks, I fuckin hate you and you give me the heebie jeebies. Every time I find one on myself I start freaking out then I rip ur fuckin head out of my living flesh and proceed to flushing you down the potty. I found 2 on me today already. ITS FUCKIN EARLY MAY. My only questions are why the hell do you love my beautiful skin and can you leave me alone? Just one summer without any damn ticks would be FANTASTIC.

That was my letter to all of the damn ticks in the world. Lets hear your gross stories about ticks. Maybe some ways to keep them off you? Lets hear it NSers

DEET is your friend. I've had 5 or 6 on me this year. Just keep an eye out for a rash.

So in boy scouts my homie got a tick on his calf on our first campout and one of the dads that was way too into scouting picked him up, held his leg out and took out his lighter. He tried to burn the tick out but insted gave my buddy a 3rd degree burn on his calf and he had to go to the hospital. Moral of the story: being molested isnt the worst thing that can happen in boy scouts.

when i was 11 i was in a mtnbike camp and around lunch someone said "look at that weird red spider!" I thought nothing of it until later that evening during a baseball game when i was scratching my head and i felt a weird lump. After a while of picking through my hair, i pulled out a giant red tick. That was the beginning of my arachnophobia.

Because lyme disease is super rad and all.




I've always wished you could give an offering. Like cut myself and poor a little bit into a cup, and have that be my quota for the week or month. Like don't fuck with me, you have my blood.

It's still in the beta stages though. I tried it before I went hiking last week and there were some goth girls wearing twilight shirts on my back porch.

lymes is transmitted in deer tick nymphs which are the size of this period. If the tick is obvious youre not getting lymes.

Myth leaving tick head in skin causes Lyme. Truth you transmitted Lyme the second they bite(if it's an infected tick). Doxycyline is fucking hell to my body and I hate ticks with a passion. Luckily no Lyme yet but not so lucky for ny dear blue nose :(

Parts of the Midwest are terrible for ticks. I took out the trash and got 3 of them from my yard.

When I was in the third grade I woke up one day and before school I found a tick halfway through my skin on my inner thigh. Had to get a bunch of blood work and shit just so my parents were confident that I didn't have lyme disease.

just make an effort to avoid them. its not that hard, the forest/park that is behind my parents house is fucking infested, and with the lymey fuckers too. lot of people on the street have lyme disease to the point where my neighbours replaced all the grass on their property with decorative stones. Make sure you wear bugspray, long pants with socks, watch what your arms are rubbing up against. give yourself a quick swipe on your pantlegs and arms every now and then.

if you do get one its not a big deal, remove it with tweezers do not burn it or it will inject the contents of the sac aka lyme disease and other gnar little bacterium into you. Take it to the doctor in a jar and they will see if it has lyme disease. Bullseye rash will not always present. Idk about the US but theres no reason to not cover your bases with the doc for lyme disease in canada because its free and super treatable when caught early.

When I was about 8 I got one stuck in the tight little roll of my ear and went to my friends house whos parents are doctors. They took it apart piece by piece at 11 at night. My mom found that it had pooped in my ear as well.

They're super bad in Alberta right now, Alberta Health Care has issued a warning about them, and if you catch one, don't dispose of it. Send it away to health Canada, they need to test them for any diseases.
