That Purpose Is: I realized this tiny mystery scab isn't healing because it's probably not a scab -- it's probably a tick -- and I am not tweezing a tick out of my thigh while sober

This makes sense but I'm simply not hardcore enough

I'm half wondering if I killed it by hitting a ~gentlemenly blood alcohol level~ last weekend

and half wanting to hallucinate cool dragons on shrooms again

while i slowly drink claw #2, i'd like to say I am NEVER chilling on my balcony and reading again*

this tick surely came from the Big Cool Tree right next to my balcony idk


*i will definitely do this again because it's chill

presumably you are also getting the tick a little drunk as well, it's really the compassionate thing to do

I just pulled it, and boy this is a 20 milligram weight off my thigh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like a new man!

it was a scab which is concerning since it didn't like fall off/heal in a timely manner, but whatever melanoma is probably better than a tick bite right..? let me just quickly confirm this good news on WebMD........ . ..

congratulations on being tick free. I would never let something I wasn't 100% sure was a scab stay on my body overnight but maybe that's just me.


thank you so much to nesamdoom for the scurry fall sig!

glad it came off, hope it wasn't anything serious

back when i was growing up we had paralysis ticks - those things are pretty scary cause even one or two of them can kill a horse if they're left there (marsupials though, especially bandicoots, are quite resistant but most others mammals are not)

i remember having to check everytime you went and played in the long grass and occasionally having to get them removed

if you do have ticks, treatment is usually to use pyrethrin based insect repellents (even though they're arachnids it works) or moistened bicarbonate of soda. you want to treat them twice within about a minute and then leave them and they should fall off over a 24 hour period.

the advantage of this over yanking them off with tweezers is that it stops the mouthparts getting pulled off and remaining stuck in you leading to potential infection - if you have no alternative to doing so then make sure you treat them with an antiseptic!

i was mad curious of this myself so this is what google had to say:

“ Ticks do not take enough of your blood to imbibe a large quantity of alcohol (which by now is highly diluted in the blood stream), and further, if you did have enough alcohol in your blood to kill an attached tick, you have bigger problems than the tick; for example, alcohol poisoning.”

so it seems that no, you can’t kill a tick with a high enough BAC. sorry friend :(
