How are you supposed to remove a fed tick, then? >_>

How are you supposed to remove a fed tick, then? >_>

Just pull them by the head, without applying anything else to make it easier. Sure, pulling them will be harder, but living with boreliosis is harder than living without it too.

How did this happen? It seems I have learned some signal analysis. I have been slacking off a bit on the home studying for it and when I did study I had huge problems, but now that I look at old versions of the final exam I realize I know most of it anyways. How did that happen? Apparently I was able o absorb a hell of a lot more from the lectures and labs than I realized.

Awesome.

Dream brain says: The first time you kill someone by twisting their head clean off their shoulders, you must go and get it the fanciest hat on site, to make it special.

Being fair, the dude took two shots to the chest, one to the back, and a bullet right in the bloody head and went on to murder my father (who had acid blood!) before having his head caved in by repeated blows with a pistol and torn off "just to be sure". At that point, like. Trophy. Yeah? Yeah.

That was also an oddly cerebral dream to have ended so violently. Lots of talking. Which I'm rapidly forgetting, but I don't think I'll be forgetting violently killing an evil supersoldier Mr. Spender.

Yeah, this. Just pinch it as close to your skin as you can and pull. Bend upwards if needed. It comes off like nothing. I've had probably hundreds of ticks in my life and it's never failed me.

Good thing Korea doesn't have ticks!

Man, I know just what I want to buy from a random and half-literate spambot: a passport!

Well, Seoul isn't the right climate for ticks. So... yeah.

In Korea, you don't need to worry about deer ticks. It's the deer you need to look out for.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

They'll jump out of the undergrowth, latching on with their fangs, and begin sucking your blood while hanging there. Slightly more noticeable than a tick, but also much more deadly, as going to a hospital to get it removed is heavily impeded by having a deer hanging off you. Luckily, I have deer repellent you can purchase.

[Neonivek]

Ehhh I am naturally repellant

Except to wasps... Wasps seem to love me somehow.

[Neonivek]

Uhhh... isn't it illegal to kill female deer unless they are highly populated?

Whenever I've done that, the head was still stuck in the skin. And given how creepy and f****d up bugs are, they have a tendency to keep moving for quite a while after they have been cut into pieces. That head can burrow deeper.

Pssh, who needs deer repellent in the middle of a large town?
