Glad Snoopy is feeling frisky again and thankful that our resident medical expert has offered his services on your tick head! LOL It was hard to type that without laughing!! :snicker:

Today I did lots of stuff. I am starting to train a coworker to help with taking on some of my work, but it's moving slow. It's not like anything she has done before and I don't want to overwhelm her. So far, I am keeping all of the balls I am juggling moving ok, but I told my boss that I am not doing anything at 100% which urks my Capricorn work ethic to no end. And I am finding my self forgetting things, which may just be because I am creeping up in years! :oops::biggrin2:

Anyways, love to you all!! I will be back on again when I can!!!:love_heart:

....then you may dig it out with yer pointy stick.....
yes! ......for the love of God, just get a good sharp clean kniife, make a small cut with the tip and dig the damn thing out Sundrop.
It's only a tick head, not a d!ckhead bullet.
Next time try the "match" method, MOST of the time the tick will unlatch and run before it explodes.
.....I've done it on many dogs & quite afew human. Grandad taught all his kids things like that.

I was going to try that, but everyone advised against it because it was a black legged or deer tick, known to carry lyme disease. From what I understood, sticking a match to one can cause it to regurgitate, and increases the risk, should that particular tick happen to have it. I know not every tick carries lyme, but I'm a better safe than sorry person.

I'm hard to scare, but I wig out whenever a tick or spider is involved. I've only ever found one other tick on myself, and that was over 30 years ago. It hadn't been embedded very long, and when I freaked out, my brother slapped the sh*t out of me to calm me down, and pulled it off my arm. This one looked like it had been feeding a little while. It wasn't fat, but its belly was kinda purple/black. Yep, it was gross, and yep, I freaked out, and wished my brother was here to slap the sh*t out of me.......kinda weird, but the thought of that did calm me down a little bit.
Awww girl.... (((Sunny))) he's watching over you always for sure. (tell him not to blink in future if a tick lands on you though)

hmmm and tearing it's abdomen away from it's head (no thorax, it IS an arachnid) probably wouldnt make it puke..... a tick is a tick is a tick...if it's carrying lyme disease then you GOT lymes disease.
Go ahead, leave the tick head in there. The spot will fester, like with a splinter, & it'll flush out with the pus ....eventually.

Why so harsh today? Hope you're okay.
I've talked to Scott, and he's given me some good medical advice. It's all gonna be okay.
