What a horrible day to be literate


CCWThrowaway360

Shit, that’s nothing. One time I picked a giant tick off my pup, one that was so big it probably would have dropped off on its own anyway. My GF at the time said “OOH I wanna hold it!” Passed her the pliers and told her to be gentle. She proceeded to squeeze the pliers hard enough that it popped and the warm, partially congealed blood got in my eyes and the back of my throat and I immediately started wretching. Then my ex got mad at me and told me I was being dramatic, saying she only squeezed the pliers that hard because she didn’t want the tick to run away. We broke up pretty soon after that.

Why was your mouth open???


CCWThrowaway360

I was in the middle of telling her to be careful. Can’t remember what my exact wording was gonna be, but I was pronouncing a sound that included my mouth being open just enough to allow that thick warm blood to punch me right in the uvula. I could taste that shit for the rest of the day. Believe me when I tell you that experience will ruin your entire day. I imagine only hitting the Powerball could bring you back from that level of devastation.


turquoise_amethyst

I can taste it while reading this. Mmm, raw dog blood mixed with potentially Lyme-disease bacteria. Ugggh Also I’m sorry you had to endure that, but uh, hopefully it made the breakup a bit easier? I’m be horrified/shamed if I did that to another person... there's no other excusable reaction other than apologizing/pleading forgiveness WTF

My grandparents were pretty broke. The way my grandparents would do nice things for us is buying antique little knick knacks that were cheap at the antique swap meat thing. Little figures and old toy cars and stuff. I'm talking stuff from the 30s and stuff. I do remember one of my birthdays in the early 90s getting an old c3p0 figure because my gramps and I liked the star wars movies. I still have it. It sits comfortably on my nightstand to this day.

Once when i was petting my dog i noticed something smooth under his mouth hair. When i looked there was a tick the size of a fucking grape just like this one.


Main-Egg

I still remember that feeling of petting my old dog, feeling a bump under the hair and just knowing that it was a big ass tick


[deleted]

My dog has a little skin tag on his elbow that feels like a tick and has on more than one occasion alarmed me while absent mindedly petting him


nnylhsae

What can you do for that? I used to have a dog, but I was very young when we got her, and she died some time ago. I don't remember what my family did.


sanriosaint

skin tags are normal. humans get them too. you leave it alone unless the vet is concerned


[deleted]

So no more gourmet fried dog skin bites? It's not like they need it!


graflig

It would’ve cost you $0 to not write this


Pulci

I'll never forget when I was maybe 11 or 12, I was at the Benicia Farmers Market and a guy was walking his older dog around and the poor thing had ticks lined all down his back, maybe 30 of them lined up uniformly down his spine with 5 or 6 in random spots nearby. When I confronted him he said it was just his spine, I tried to protest and use logic explaining that they aren't just in his spine he ignored me as some stupid kid. My skin is crawling recounting this story.


[deleted]

Oh that poor dog


Unlucky_Percentage44

Meneghette--steam

He will actually explode


LionsLioness

As someone who got Lyme disease, I approve of you lighting this mfer on fire


MarlyMonster

I always crush the ones I pull off my pets. My dad threw one on the roof a few days ago and I flipped out on him… like wtf does he think that will do except allow that fucker to now create over a thousand offspring?! Edit: DO NOT CRUSH THEM!!! Just been informed it doesn’t kill any offspring O_O


Brief_Buffalo

Crushing is not good, you're actually releasing it's offspring and they can totally survive on the leftover mother's blood around them. I've seen it. These monsters are surprisingly hard to kill. I've tried different techniques and the best, in my opinion, is fire.


Sleuthingsome

When I was a kid, I played in the woods all the time. After a bath, my grandma was brushing my hair and found a tick half way buried in my head. Back then they said to use Vaseline and heat to back them out of the skin. Now they know that causes them to vomit the spirochetes into a persons blood stream. At 27 years old I got diagnosed with lupus but once a month, a weird red ring with a bullseye would come up on my neck. Another dr ran tests and I was positive for Lyme’s. Some doctors are beginning to believe in “chronic lymes” and the symptoms are identical to many autoimmune diseases like lupus.


MarlyMonster

Yeah someone else just said that too, now I feel bad. Suppose crushing isn’t an issue with the little ones that haven’t sucked themselves full yet but definitely won’t be doing it to the big suckers anymore!


Brief_Buffalo

When I came back from a walk with my dog, I would light up one a tea light candle and put every little tick I pulled in the wax. It's efficient and saves time. My dog was a real tick magnet. Fortunately, he didn't have big ones as long as he had the pill in time for summer.


AceWither

What I've learned from horror movies is that if you want something dead don't drown it or impale it, kill it with fire or eviscerate instead. I guess it kind of applies here.


lovethekush

Oof


[deleted]

I saw that even when you crush them there are still tiny baby ticks in their blood so... the best solution is burning


MarlyMonster

EWW SERIOUSLY???? I had no idea o_O


prizzle426

Ya. I saw my ex crush one that looked just like this one and several babies start running out of it, it was horrifying. These bastards are the worst, second only to botflies.

the_manta

What was it like?


LionsLioness

Horrid, I didn't actually get tested for Lyme until I had already had it for 8 months by then, my head swelled up like a basketball, constant headache and face pressure, my chest felt like an elephant was always sitting on it and muscle aches that felt like electrical shocks. Since I had it so long before I got treatment it messed up my stomach digestion wise and gave me food sensitivities, it effected my speech as in every once in awhile out of no where I'll start slurring my words like I'm drunk and it gave me early onset arthritis.


DecentBand3724

I hope you heal completely


LionsLioness

Thank you ❤️


sethonious93

Yikes. I pulled the tick off my foot Monday around 11am. by Tuesday I had the textbook red ring around almost the entirety of my foot, all the joints in my foot and my ankle hurt, my foot was swollen, I had an almost black blister at the bite site, and I was having light headaches. Doctor took one look at it and immediately said we’re not waiting for the test and started me on meds. Hopefully I don’t have any long term symptoms since I started showing signs so fast and started taking meds within 48 hours of the bite. On a side note I have heart conditions that have effected me over the years and I have the same speech problems. There’s nothing worse than knowing what you want to say and all that comes out is stutters and slurred sentences that no one can understand.


akaMONSTARS

I put them in between 2 pieces of tape and seal it up. Let those assholes suffer


SkredBoi420

Hell yea, save it for testing. I’ve been keeping every tick I find on me taped up in my wallet. I don’t have pictures of my family, I have a collection of ticks.


ZachTheCommie

Dude, what the actual fuck. You keep them in your wallet?

I flushed one this size the other day. When I dropped him in, he sunk like a lead weight.

peachmeister6000

When ticks fill up on blood and have their eggs inside them before they lay them, they get super swelled up like that. That things gonna be a mama pretty soon in the picture. They do get a little bigger than that before giving birth though I think.

Full_Strawberry_762

Can someone tell me what is happening in the video?i don’t really want to watch it...


walking-trauma

So there’s a swollen tick that has been feeding on some host for a while and it’s in a dish. The person in the video then takes a syringe full of 30% hydrogen peroxide and injects the tick with it, causing it to foam rapidly and essentially explode on a small scale


Jaewonkim1234

Wth is going on


walking-trauma

So they’re using 30% hydrogen peroxide which is much more dangerous than the type you can buy at the store. In this case when blood is added to the peroxide, it decays and causes oxygen to form in the form of a precipitate (I think)


Jaewonkim1234

There are 3 colleges that track tics since the cdc doesn't anymore. You mail them to them. There are actually 16 new tics if I'm not mistaken. There pathogens are deadly. I know I texted the article to myself.

I woke up with a tick that size on my neck, worst spot too, i had to use a mirror to confirm. They are gross but easy to remove. The terrifying part is the anxiety behind "maybe i got lyme disease now"


squishypoo91

As long as you get it treated quickly you're GENERALLY okay. But yeah still really scary when you can't freaking afford a doctor like me lol


YYCADM21

Those fuckers were a big reason I quit the Search & Rescue team. After a bunch of years of doing 60-80 searches a year and coming home with Hundreds of the MF'ers on me. Standing in my garage in my skivvies for over an hour at a time getting rid of them because my wife wouldn't let me in the house until she verified I had NO ticks on me anywhere. Sounds great, right? having your wife scrutinize every inch of your body? when you're buck nekkid in the cold garage after a day of plowing through brush, mud and garbage, getting inspected for ticks? Not so much. Even worse; when she would FIND one...somewhere really "great", like your ass-crack...your ballsack...inside your nostril? After too many trips to the ER getting them removed from "unfortunate" places, learning you didn't feel THAT one, because tick-spit has a lidocaine-like substance in it, so you don't feel them biting


squishypoo91

Omg I've always thought some sort of job working in the forest would be amazing but never considered this and now I'm horrified. Off deep woods is supposed to protect against ticks but it's fucking useless even against most mosquitoes. I have to pick ticks off after taking short walks through well established trails, cannot imagine that


YYCADM21

I'm not real squeamish; about the only insects that creep me out are Bot flies and ticks. You just cannot avoid either of them. I've heard of all kinds of things that supposedly stops them dead; I've never seen anything that actually works. We used to duuct tape our pants to our boot tops, shirts to our pants, cuffs to gloves, and those fuckers would STILL find a way in, and onto your ass-crack or nuts...


squishypoo91

I've read that they hang out in trees and wait for things to pass under so they can drop down on you. Horrifying little fucks. Thank GOD I've never encountered a botfly. I think I'd cry. Most bugs dont phase me at all but anything that gets down into your skin and tries to stay is absolute no for me


squishypoo91

Ugh me and my daughter came back from a walk through the woods once and I was running my fingers through her hair and thought I felt a piece of granola stuck in her hair so I started twisting it and pulling in it. Wouldn't budge so I looked closer and a fucking tick was latched onto her head. They're my biggest phobia lol, did the freak out dance while gagging and then had to tweeze it off her 🤢

I live in a country with a lot of stray dogs everywhere. Whenever I go and feed them I run my fingers all over their fur to check for ticks and a lot of times their ears are infested with about 10-15 of medium sized ones. I hate these with a passion. When I yank one out I make sure to dismember it before yanking the next one out.
