dbx12Tick Paralysis
Fuck ticks man. I can get behind insects being important for cadaver clean up and all that but those creepy crawlies just exist to fuck other living beings up.
But ticks aren’t insects, they’re arachnids, 8 legs, not 6.
Still not good either way, I’ve been bitten myself 4 times in life by ticks, 3 of those on the same day. Thankfully I never experienced paralysis or any other serious long term effects, but oh boy I was sick as hell for the next week or so after the 3 ticks 1 day episode…
I found like 4 on me just last year. I try and check but they are so tiny it’s hard to know what is a small scab from a thorn and what is a tick. Sometimes only find them a day or 2 later.
Spring time is right around the corner, and with that thought in mind, I’m not only gonna have to check myself occasionally, but also our dog…
Everyone else make sure to check yourselves and your pets and even livestock too…

If you give your dog simparica trio once a month, any tick that bites him will die immediately before it has a chance to give him Lyme disease. It also takes care of fleas and heartworms.
