Kind of like you, Fartin ... which goes a long way in explaining why you haven't been banned yet.

FartinMowler You live in the Emerald city populated with elves and people with soggy underwear :/

DamnthatDavid Did you know, you could possibly kill, or paralyze someone, if you took a axe and chopped them in the spin.

Your next mowler...

FartinMowler I just watched a TLC program about ticks. They did a cheesy reanactment of this kid that was sent to the hospital and they took a needle and shoved it in her spine to check and see if she had some disease because she had paralysis, but it was a tick.

kellychaos Have you tried mockery?

"You're not much of a tick, are you? Look at yourself! You call yourself a tick, do you? If I had a set of pincers that small, then I wouldn't get a gym membership. That's for sure! ... "

executioneer oil of eucalyptus (I know, too late ) should aggravate them into letting go without doing harm to you

da blob You only have to worry about lyme if the tick has been on you for several days. And lyme is something to worry about, well depending on the area.
Although it's too late - to pull it off without leaving the head inside your best bet is to grab it and "unscrew" it, not just pull. Appart from the vaseline thing. Or you could also apply some frontline or the like on the bugger with a q-tip.

TBMonkey We have hell ticks that were sent from god to smite us wicked.
Apr 19th, 2004 02:42 AM
DamnthatDavid I agree with Perndog on this. You people, so afraid of a little tick infection. No wonder you people get sick so easily. Always worried about the little things that keep your immune system in practice.
Apr 19th, 2004 02:27 AM
CastroMotorOil doopa was right with the vaseline, thats how i have always gotten thme off.

Oh and Deer Ticks are the worst ones to get.

Perndog Maybe I'm lucky cause all the ticks where I grew up were the kind that are just annoying and not dangerous then. Because I must've pulled out a hundred of them over the years and never got sick nor heard of anyone in the area getting sick from a tick.

Of course, I also never heard of the head coming off. Usually a piece of skin was left in the tick's jaws, not vice versa.

I'd take walks in the woods as a little kid and sometimes come back with three or four on me (not always biting, but generally..). Two fingers, grab it next to your skin, rip it off and then torture it with whatever implements are handy. If it's the kind that would infect you with something, it already started injecting you with saliva when it bit and you're fucked no matter how you take it off. And if it's not that kind, the wound it makes is small enough that the only way to actually hurt yourself would be to try and dig it off your skin with a knife.
Most tick infections are due to peoplejust yanking them out and leaving the head in, or by various other means of "tricking" the tick to dislodge. Infection because of leaving the head in is quite obvious, but the other aren't. Since a tick has no anus it has to vomit it's waste, and any reason for the tick to dislodge it's head will make it vomit.

I know this because my area is infested with ticks, the kind that give you all sorts of diseases. Here, people who just yank it out will eventually find themselves in the hospital.

Perndog I was talking to the people who were offering elaborate and careful procedures. Reading comprehension is your friend.
