On that subject, it seems that recently Americans have discovered the existence of the capybara and are obsessed with it, if one day you go to a country where they are native and can be found in the wild, stay away, they carry ticks that carry spotted fever, a disease that has a fatality rate of 30% which can increase to 80% if not treated immediately and correctly.
No. Although it's called "Arachnophobia", it actually refers specifically to spiders, and not to arachnids in general. "Phobia" is also an irrational fear. Thus, you cannot have a phobia of ticks, because it's not irrational to fear them. They are very dangerous creatures, even if you discount the diseases they carry. Look up "Ghost moose". Now, you might argue that it's not irrational to fear some spiders either, but that's not how phobias work. Someone with arachnophobia would fear the most venomous spider and the most harmless spider both equally, and their fear would be extreme.
About 10 years ago, my mom was bit by a lonestar tick, which made her essentially allergic to red meat. The allergy has not gone away since and her diet now consists mainly of turkey, chicken, and fish.
I got bit by a tick before, and got admitted in a hospital for about 1 week or so. Words can’t describe how horrible the symptoms were, I could barely get up and had to sleep for most of the time. It’s worst than any other disease that I ever got before.
So I have a pretty interesting story about ticks. When I was younger I found one in my yard and thought it was a new species and got really excited and so I carried it around and an empty water bottle, showing it off to my friends. After I released it I decided to google it and then found out it was a deer tick. So all my fiends and I were playing with a deer tick all day letting crawl on us and stuff so that’s fun.
missed opportunity to talk about how they numb your skin before they feed on you. really interesting bug, if only it wasnt such a pain in the arse for us.
Yeah, their physiology is definitely interesting, from a scientific point-of-view. We get flooded with dog ticks every summer in my area. Even spraying around the house once a week or more doesn't deter these guys. It's a nightmare. They especially love my son, who is 6. I hate ticks -_- even if they're interesting as hell.
I've had ticks infest my house because my former dog got bitten by them all over. About 3 weeks ago, my new dog had a couple ticks on his eyebrow area and I removed them and then had his fur removed too. I'd have no problem with ticks hadn't they been at risk of giving people lyme disease should you be bitten and eventual death. These are the only things I hold no hesitation with burning to death.
As a kid during the summer months me and my friend would be knee deep in brush and weeds ALL the time. We'd go home and pick tics off each other literally none the wiser to how dangerous they could be. Thankfully neither of us got sick from them but my grandpa did 😦 he was sent to the hospital and had to cary around an epipen because he became allergic to meat products for a while.
Sounds like your gramps got bit by a Lone Star Tick. These ticks are infamous for their ability to cause an allergy to *_"Galactose-a-1"_* , a carbohydrate found in red meats.
@Prophet of Greyism No problem! Just throwing the name out for anyone curious about it. From what I've heard/read, it's a disease that's recently begun developing and spreading. You were right that it's tick-borne. Very scary stuff, a bacteria or anything else that can alter the way your body breaks things down like that!
That would be karma to everyone who eats the flesh of brutally killed animals because apparently they’re so selfish that their temporary taste pleasure is more important than an animal’s life.
One time we took our cotton de tulear to the beach and let him lose. He doesn't get many chances to run around free in our country so he was really happy. Sadly the beach had this little patch of plants in the middle of the sand and he decided to go through it. Well, when we took it back to the house to wash away the sand we saw him with many ticks all over his body. I spent the next 3 days picking away the ticks and killing them by squishing them with my fingers. I must've pulled at least 20 during those few days, but they kept popping so in the following months I would find 1 or 2 every so often. We took them to the vet to make sure he got a shot against whatever that tick had. We thought it was over but eventually another appeared after he walked in the garden, so we had to cut the flowers and other plants then fumigate the yard. My dog and my house was finally free of ticks, until one day I saw a small bunch of baby ticks bunched up in the wall of the room me and my dog sleep in. So I killed them by covering them in a heavy drop of super glue. And that was the last of it, at the time I didn't knew just how dangerous it was for me to kill them by hand and I still have that reminder in the form of the transparent drop of glue holding the dead baby ticks in my wall.
When My dog Gets ticks i take them out with pliers and put them in The sink and Burn them that stops them from reproducing They Are really hard to kill by hand which propably caused Ur little infestation
A ticks proboscis has 5 parts, a barbed stylus called a hypostome, and on the hypostome are 2 pairs of lancets, each lancet are tipped with sharp knife like hooks called chelicerae. The chelicerae is what helps the tick drill deeper into its target, but it's also what anchors the tick into its target while feeding
When I was around 13 or 14 years old, my mom noticed a big rash in the middle of my back with what looked like a spider bite in the center. I went to the doctor and got some blood work done, turned out I had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and then I remembered that I picked a tick off that spot on my back about 6 weeks earlier.
Can we seriously stop saying that arachnoids and insects are so different we need to categorize them differently? Mammals are vastly different between each other and yet we still call them all mammals despite some having no legs, 4 legs, 2 legs.
I just killed a tick last night, it was hiding under my washing machine. I was sweeping and it crawled out headed towards my living room, I squeezed a glob of hand sanitizer to stop it from moving and then flushed it.
I remember several years ago I found what I thought was a grape. I picked it up and messed around with it until I realized it had legs and was moving around. Turns out it was a tick that bit one of our dogs. It still looked epic popping it.

one time i was going to bed and i felt something crawling on my stomach and i grabbed it and it was a fat black tick bro my soul left my body i threw that thing like a splatoon booyah bomb
I had found a tick on my thigh about a month ago and had no idea how the hell it got there. I wear pants 90% of the time, so it was an enigma for me. Fortunately, I didn’t get any illnesses. Even more fortunately, I wasn’t forced to go vegan afterwards. There’s still a little spot from where it was though. It kind of looks like a mosquito bite that hasn’t gone away, only it doesn’t itch.
Got bit by one of these a couple months ago. I felt something hard flicking around my knee and thought it was a scab, I got really confused after a while and checked and saw it. Never ran so fast to grab a pair of tweezers and run it under a flame
