Country Living Tip 1: Tick Attack

After you take a walk in the woods, be sure to change your clothes immediately and possibly take a shower.  This is for your benefit as well as everyone else's.  Otherwise you may bring ticks into the house....  Oh and if you happen to have a mole that looks like it is peeling off... do not panic until you pull it off... only then should you let yourself realize it's a tick and run screaming around the house...  this is also a great technique for waking yourself up in the morning... and becoming paranoid for the rest of the day...

However if the tick does not come off easily... well you're in trouble.... not only are they hard to get off if they have latched on (so I've heard) but they can give you lime disease.... anyway the ONLY way to kill a tick is to decapitate it... now don't you want to go visit the country?!

1 I once had a tick on my eye lid.

Scariest fucking thing ever

2 I had a tick before, it had kind of started to latch on and we had to pull it off. It was gross. That's what I get for plying in the woods all the time.

3 People claim there are lots of ways to remove a tick once he's started to bite, but only one way works well.  Take tweezers, grip the little sucker as close to your skin as possible as pull straight out.  If you just grab his body, you'll leave his head in your skin and that can lead to infection.  If you can, don't squeeze over the body, because it causes it to regurgitate into your wound, and if he's infected you'll get Lyme disease.  I know about that one, 'cause I got it earlier this Spring.  Luckily, we caught it way early, so a 10-day course of antibiotics got rid of it.

Nasty little parasites.

4 My mother used to light a match, blow it out, and do something with that when I had a tick.

When I asked her about it, she said the sulfur did something to the tick.

I think she is just a sadist.
