I just removed a tick from the center of my wifes back, she must have got it near the swingset. She did not believe me till I took a picture of it and showed her the legs............then she started freaking out. God almighty! So I put an ice pack on it for 10 minuits and pulled that sucker out, put him in a plastic bag and said "Here is your tick". it took an hour to calm her down, jeez it's just a tick. Yeah, I got the head.
I pulled a tick off my arm the other day after doing yard work. I don't mind the "normal" ones too much, they don't freak me out but, the deer ticks are freakin' minute.
You can call it a tick all you want, but it is a blood sucking parasite.
I wonder how you would feel if your wife had to remove a nice fat dog tick from your nuts...

We had to wear flea collars on our ankles when we worked in the field growing up. We also had to be de-ticked after bath time. Good times...

i keep a bottle of anti-tick stuff for people by the kitchen door hoping my son will use it when he goes outside. but we both hate rubbing that crap all over our skin. i do think about it when i mess around in the garden. damn nasty things.
I went camping a couple of years ago and found about 30 of those son of a bitches on me. I freaked out, broke out in hives and ended up in the ER at 2 in the morning

My husband had one on him a few years ago. When I was growing up, my mom would light a match, put it out and then put the match tip on the tick. The tick would get fucking pissed and back out. Worked every time.
I told my husband that but noooooooo, my husband googles it and gets some shitty advice about twisting it out with tweezers. He didn't get the head and then he freaked out and ended up at the emergency room (it was the weekend). Dumbass.
I hate them nasty bastiges. When I was a kid we lived in the boonies in east texas. used to get those little seed ticks all the time. I would tie my pants legs down and spray my boots and pant legs with Black Flag to keep them off, about the only thing that somewhat worked.

I is the older generation.
It's okay. I think stoners of all ages would know those things as roach clips. They still use them, right? How else are you supposed to save that last little bit?
