Ticks!

[Rudso]

Thanks god I don't go out to places and get covered in ticks but I did get a tick once for the first time while camping. I woke up and felt a bump on my upper leg and thought it was a bruise. Later I took my pants off to see what it was and it was a tick. Imagine how scared I was since I didn't know what a tick was. I started remembering those discovery shows with bugs and worms living inside people so that freaked me out a little. Whats the best way to take out a tick? When I took the tick off me some of him stayed inside. Whats the best way to take them out whole?

Don't leave any of the buggers parts in your leg,it will get infected.

METHOLATED SPIRITS will make them retract their jaws after a few mins.

Metho......few mins.......squeeze......Blaargh

I once found a scab on my dogs front leg but it wasn't a scab it was thousands of microscopic tick babies(as big as a grain of fat sand).This took weeks to get off.The mother tick was huge and in the dogs ear.The babies spawned all over her front legs.I have never to this day seen anything like it since.I had witnesed the birth of ticks.lol (to an extent)

A ticks head doesn't matter,if its under your skin.Old wives tale about you getting sick over it.Your body pushes it out like a wood sliver(in a couple days).....
Just don't pull on a tick when its full of your blood,thats how you get infected,your pushing all that crap into your system,when you grab it to pull.(Blood and pus)

And whats with never finding these spider 'wanna-be's' until they cowardly crawl up the back of my neck??? Why can't they fight like real men.....face to face? I guess it might be best this way, I don't know if I could ever look a man in the face again if he allowed one of these 'varments' to molest his face. Maybe we should start a bounty on them? A penny each? I don't know much but I do know a bounty would be enough to retire me by next tick season!
