The ticks got them ๐จ
I have Lyme desease and this is funny af! ๐
are you ok?
no they have lyme disease
(of lyme disease)
Lyme disease is the lesser problem. Where I live, a large amount of ticks carry a virus that causes encephalitis. Luckily I'm vaccinated against it, but many people aren't.
It looked like a pretty cool experience in Hannibal tho...
Not just any tick, but THE Tick. Spoon, motherfuckers...
If the ticks didn't get me, my allergies would.
Just take a shower afterwards
Idk if that's serious, but that doesn't help with ticks
??? Yes it does? It takes ticks a bit of time to latch on and start sucking, by taking a shower shortly after you can wash the crawlers off and also check your full body for any latched on?
Yes it does? It doesn't directly remove them, but it does allow you to see them and remove them yourself
OK but like the shower doesn't really contribute then
Oh, would you rather drop the ticks you remove on the floor?
Uuuh... no? Like they are dead then, so the trash I guess?
ticks scare me more than any giant tarantula ever would
