Ticks are so small, how do you even notice you have one on you?

[intransitTV]

@dracomaster001 I noticed it while showering. Felt a little bump on my leg while cleaning.

Surprising that you don't have a better iPhone case, i.e. a Lifeproof or Otterbox.

@jilaby949 I had a Pelican case that is waterproof. I use that on the water, but on land I take it out.

Did it hurt? Jeeze I'm glad I live in a place cold enough to not have ticks.

[intransitTV]

@SkiSkiAlaska No it didn't hurt...just stressful wanting to get it out.

Man I subscribed to you a while ago when phillyD spotlighted you and this is the first vid ive watched since then lol. Its the weirdest thing.... and i mean weird but now i gotta watch all your vids. I think it was the beard.

An infection won't necessarily cause a bull's eye. It could be a bilateral rash, or no rash at all. I've had Lyme disease twice; personally, I'd get on antibiotics after any tick bite, regardless of symptoms. You don't want late stage Lyme. Thumbs up so he can see!

your eyes are amazing

[DunkRyan]

I can tell by your expression you were pretty worried here. I know the feeling, but wood ticks don't really transmit lyme, so you shouldn't have been too worried.

Living in Northern Wisconsin all my life, I find this video hilarious. There will be times in the spring where you can walk through tall grass and literally have 20 of them on you. The best way to prevent ticks is to wear appropriate clothing so they can't get under your clothing.

the easiest way to get the whole things off, is to grab it with tweezers, then screw it counterclockwise, while ripping it out. when they bite their jaws screw in in a clockwise manner

Had 2 or 3 in my early years, we have these things called "Tick pens" with which you remove these fuckers in seconds.

you should get vaxinated for boreliosis

I hate ticks my dog had a couple after a hiking trip we went on one weekend at Point Reyes, CA.

i had one on the back of my leg, it wasn't burried in, but had been there overnight. (it had some blood in it) i got tested for limes disease anyway, came back neg :D But your lucky it wasn't a deer tick, they're much smaller and less noticeable! glad you got it out! :)
