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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, would you rather drop the ticks you remove on the floor?

Uuuh... no? Like they are dead then, so the trash I guess?
