Ever had a tick in you before?

yes you are definitely going to need to see a doc to get the rest out - it is very common if you dont pull a tick off the right way, for the head to stay attached - a very good family friend is a lymes specialist and actually created the vaccine for lyme's disease - if you have more questions before you hit up the dr shoot me a PM - good luck :)

Even though I was skeptical when I heard it, I have seen this work a few times. Add some soap & water to a gauze pad. Rub it in a circular motion over the tick. The tick will back itself out.

The question is how many have you had in you?




Look at all those respondants who thought you really meant (T)icks.

My reality and yours are quite different.

My dad was on a mountaineering rescue team and got ticks a lot. As a kid I was fascinated by watching him use a lit match or lighter to make them back out.

I say, burn it's little butt.

If the head detaches and stays in though, go to the doctor!

As an avid hiker ... I burn them (just be careful not to burn yourself).

rule number one is DON'T TWEEZE IT OUT.

That causes the little darling to squeeze spit into you which isn't good.

But since you have broken rule number one -
The alcohol trick works, however, prefered method is to heat a needle tip and stick it to their butts and they back right out.

If the head is stuck in you, go to the doctor asap. I can develop into a very nasty infection.

Take it from a country boy from North Carolina (tick capitol of America) I have had hundreds of ticks and pulled them all out with not much trouble. But the hot match should work if you want to try it... just don't kill him before he backs out.

If you are going to be in a tick prone area (tall weeds and grass) a pinch of sulphur powder (also called sulphur flour) in each sock will keep all ticks and chiggers (aka redbugs) off. The sulphur powder my not be available any more though... I use to buy it from the pharmacy... it is 100% effective though

I even need help getting off sometimes too.

Have you ever been so wasted you just do it for the hell of it and kinda lose your rhythm (had to google that, awkward bastard word) and fall asleep?

Back in my more troubled days, I occasionally would be engaged in the act with my first wife while tripping on acid.

More than once I just became distracted by whatever and completely forgot what I was doing
that was the only reason my first wife didn't want me using hallucinogens
