If you’ve never watched a ZeFrank video before, you’re in for a real treat or a horror show (depending on how you look at it). Today’s episode is on ticks; their eating and mating habits, as well as how they are a carrier for Lyme Disease.
While informative and fascinating, ticks are disgusting little disease filled parasites. Enjoy! Watch
If you’re a dog owner and deal with occasional ticks, this image will haunt you. You’re welcome.
Just thinking of the nasty little bastards sends a shiver up my spine. Have dealt with them a lot. I remember parents using a cigarette to get them off kids when I was growing up in Montana, that or Vaseline petroleum jelly
The Owl is a great one of his. This one, well, it’s about ticks. Yuck.
When we visited cousins in Indiana they would regularly check the dogs for ticks. If they found one they would pull it off and make the dog eat it – to get its blood back, supposedly.

Have had two dig into me this year, unusual because I always wear long sleeves and dungarees outside. Had shots for Lyme in the 90s. But found that mixing up a paste of Calcium Bentonite Clay and witch hazel and applying it under a band aide will remove any left over body parts after you attempt dig them out and don’t get it all. Aliens they are. Never had them here in upstate NY as a kid in the 50s.
I failed to mention, I’ve found them dug into snakes and turtles.
I live out west near the Wasatch Mountains.
No ticks, no cockroaches.
(but right now, no water, either)
Got bit by one two summers ago…in the ADKS of all places…had to cut it out with a single edged razor…must have latched on and dug in overnight…
But it still does not surpass getting stung by a scorpion at the bottom of the Grand Canyon…and walking out.
I average two to three ticks a year that attach. Fully embedded less than that. Takes them a while to submerge the head fully.
I ain’t clicking on the link. Vampire turtle leeches that can handle 20 ton’s of pressure.

We use to not have cockroaches either. Location: The lion’s den.
I suffer from multiple tick-born diseases. Of the many animals with questionable justification for their existence I can think of absolutely nothing that justifies the existence of a tick.
The little tiny black ones here in California are the one’s to avoid. They lie and wait in tall dry grass, and oak trees. Tis the season…..
Great video and very informative.

Miss my basset..
I’m up to 5 bites so far this year. Probably should get tested, but haven’t seen any bullseyes.
I keep a bit of bleach in a sealed Tupperware container for the ticks to have a little swim when I get a chance to drop them off at the pool. They seem to get use to the chlorite pretty quickly, that or die on contact.
Tony “The Tick” Fauci… the blood-clotting dwarf.
Tiny black tics biting at my asshole wrapped in toilet paper is quite frankly a thought I wish I never had. Thanks IOTW for enhancing a thought that didn’t come up until I clicked “Toilet Paper In Hell”.
I have had 9 ticks on me thus far this year. My wife 5. Pulled one off her scalp last night (she was a bit freaked out). 2018 was bad, had 26 on me. Afraid this year might be worse. And no, I’m not out playing in the woods. Just outside a lot in Ohio.
Never was inclined to visit Ohio.
Eat a bag of ticks….
I had a tick on me the other day – after a hike in the woods. Wear light colored clothing so you can see them. We have quite an infestation of them here. I think the fires and smoke last season made them proliferate. BTW, if you’re out hiking, don’t sit on logs, and careful brushing up against tall grass that’s overhanging in the trail. That’s where they hang out. You’re welcome.
