Unusually aggressive lone star ticks, common in the south-east, are spreading to areas previously too cold for them
Unusually aggressive lone star ticks, common in the south-east, are spreading to areas previously too cold for them
Many years ago my dog brought in a tic bomb, and got into bed with me. I awoke to my left arm and hand covered in so many sesema seed sized tics I could not even see my skin.
It took hours to get them off me and my dog.
I dodged a bullet cause I didn’t get any illnesses, nor did my dog.
I’m still freaked out though.
I wonder if the tick bomb babies are less likely to transmit anything because they probably haven’t fed on anything yet? I would think they’d have to feed on a mammal to get the compound into their saliva.
Why did I read this in bed
Straight nightmare fuel, Jesus Christ mate…
This happened to me once (with deer ticks, not lone star) while I was having a nice walk in the woods high on shrooms. Worst trip of my life.
😱 😱 😱 !
