%$%##! OMG, look at this!

FUCK!

Petting the dog and found THIS fucking creature! What the hell? Guess the frontline didn't ward off this life size vampire.

I remove the normal ticks pretty well, but how the hell do I remove this thing? God, if it pops and bleeds on me, I'm going to vomit.

I heard that if you put something toxic on a tick or try to burn them, they regurgitate into the host and pose more of a threat of infecting the host with disease. I almost vomited just looking at the thing.

wtf is that thing

 

[cindylou]

omg.

I think nail polish will suffocate them and it will fall off.

Though that might be a wives tale ; I dunno ; try it.

 

[heatherrae]

wtf is that thing

Fucking tick from HELL!

 

[heatherrae]

Okay, I couldn't leave that creature on my baby. I bit the bullet and pulled him off. I hope that I got all of the mouthparts out and that Corky isn't infected. Holy SHIT! I hate ticks!!!

eww...im traumatized for life when it comes to ticks. I saw my friends mom remove one from the side of his head when we were kids. i been scared shitless ever since.



and his dad got lime disease (this was at a summer house in Jackson New Jersey which is a pretty dense wooded area)

Light a match, then blow it out, then touch the tick with the hot end of the match. Have another person right there with tweezers to pluck it up once it feels itself getting burned. It will release tension on its legs making it easy to pluck them out.

I read that that makes them throw up blood into the host and can cause disease. BLEH!

I heard you use a match.....light it and blow it out and apply it to tick.


Damn that thing is huge.

 

[cindylou]
