    Tick Bite

    Me and a friend were talking about this at work today. He neighbor got bit by one of these lonestar ticks and is now allergic to red meat. How horrible would this be?

    FACT CHECK: Can the Bite of a 'Reverse Zombie' Tick Make You Allergic to Red Meat?

    fuck what's worse, Lyme disease or an allergy to my favorite food...due to my mountain biking I am constantly removing ticks from my body but I'm very diligent about checking myself when I take a break during and after the ride so I usually don't have to pull them out of me just off me...they are evil...

    The craziest thing about Lyme disease is that there is a vaccine for it that is no longer manufactured because people got on the antivaxx train.

    Lyme disease. Luckily it's rare where I'm from, and I've seen a tick just once in my life.

    Just read in the news - in Italy, a small kid whose parents are of antivaxx has been hospitalized with tetanus. It's the first episode after 30 years....

    Lyme disease is one of the most terrible thing you can get as far as your physique goes. Was a big 400lb guy that got lyme disease and was barely over a hundred pounds in a few months. It takes years to recover. No thank you, just shoot me instead.

    Funny fact:
    Massachusetts has one of the highest rates of tick bites but spends more money on Malria research than any other state.

    Had one there myself years back. Then just a couple years ago had one on my hip with a resulting visible rash. Treated me with antibiotics and all is well.

    Here are some useful facts about how to deal with the evil bastards:
    1. Peppermint oil or Vaseline will cause a tick to back out of the skin. DO NOT DO THIS! The evil bastard will vomit into you before pulling out increasing the odds of bad shit happening to you.
    2. ALWAYS pull a tick out by its stupid tick head. They make special tweezers for this purpose. If you encounter a lot of ticks get them!
    3. If you find a tick on your skin, tape it to a notecard. Write the date and location where you found the stupid fuker. If you notice anything out of the ordinary (swelling, big ring around the area, fever, etc.) Bring your special notecard to the doctor and show them the stupid fuker you found trying to destroy your life.

    Hope that helps! I hate ticks!

    Pretty smart shit!
    When I was frequnting a lot of different girls I wrote the dates down. Would have taped them to a card but figured someone would miss them.
