15 Facts About Ticks That'll Convince You To Stay Inside This Summer

15 Facts About Ticks That'll Convince You To Stay Inside This Summer
When it comes to summer’s little dangers, few are nastier than ticks.
These horrible little buggers are unpleasant to look at and they spread things like Lyme disease, which is the worst. If you think ticks are no big deal, then allow me to present you with 15 photos that might just change your mind.
1. Apparently, ticks can also get ticks.
Reddit / testuserpleaseignore
This is the worst of both worlds.
2. Ticks are technically arachnids.
Reddit / mjenn2
That means they are like spider and scorpions, two other terrifying creatures.
3. There are approximately 850 tick species.
Reddit / ilovedaryldixon
(It looks like most of them were pulled off of one dog after a 2 hour hike.)
4. Ticks can transmit some pretty terrible diseases such as Lyme disease, Ehrlichia, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
Reddit / TallMime
5. You or your pets can contract multiple diseases from ONE tick bite.

6. Never remove a tick with your fingers. You may separate the body from the head, leaving it embedded in the skin.

7. Ticks don’t fly or jump, they crawl. So if you find one in your hair, it most likely got onto your body somewhere lower and crawled ALL THE WAY UP.
Reddit / J_Diz_My_Kiz
Although they could fall on you if you brush by their hiding spot in tall grass. This is a cup full of ticks that were pulled off of a stray dog after it was brought into an emergency clinic.
8. You can actually buy clothing with permethrin tick repellent built into it.

9. Ticks can even be active in the winter (e.g., you’re never safe).

10. Ticks can embed themselves almost anywhere.
Reddit / Thrilla87
Yes, even in eyes (or other…sensitive…areas).
11. If your pet is acting strangely after being outside, you should take him or her to the vet.
Reddit / spect3rm3dic
Odd behavior such as seizures, a stiff uncoordinated gait, labored breathing, or lethargy can be the warning signs of a tick-borne illness.
12. Remember, if you squish a tick that was engorged with blood, there will be some consequences.
Reddit / tehkarebears
13. Lyme disease is the most commonly reported vectorborne illness in the United States.
Reddit / Crocain
The aftermath of a tick bite that led to Lyme disease isn’t nice to look at, either.
14. All tick species come in various sizes.
Reddit / Donunlex
Ticks also have four stages of life: egg, larva (infant), nymph (immature), and adult (mature).
15. Remember: tick bites and diseases spread by ticks are both preventable.
Reddit / Joegabe
Do yourself a favor and check your body for ticks when you go inside. Summer will be here before you know it, which means that these things will be out in full force.
(via Reddit)
This is why I never regret my choice to stay inside during the summer. Nature is all fine and dandy until you meet a nice little tick that gives you Lyme disease. I think I’ll just stay here on the couch, where it’s safe.

Barry: Nothing's changed too much, except for the nose. Who's working on the nose? The nose is now... a butt. And instead of snot, it Hershey squirts...
Alex: Yeah, they floated that idea at the play test and some kids actually backed away from the table.
#GoreWars Round 2!
Thanks to all the wonderful sickos who voted in the first round of GoreWars over at DarkFuse Magazine, Pucker Up was one of the winning stories and I am moving onto round two with a fresh story called Sinner. I'll be squaring off against dark poet Timothy P. Flynn, who was one of the top vote-getters in round one, so I'm expecting some stiff competition here (Update: After being tied half-way through the day one, Timothy squeaked out a bit of a lead. Things are heating up! The score is currently 355-308, and this is looking like the match to watch.)
The GoreWars rules are simple - participants have 50 words to gross out, shock, and/or disturb readers. So dear readers, if you've got a strong stomach, head on over to the GoreWars page. Because of graphic content, the stories are accessible only to subscribers. You can either purchase a paid account, or you can sign up for a 72-hour trial subscription and cast your vote.
DarkFuse has announced that 3 voters will be picked at random from the ballots cast in round 2 and will receive gift boxes full of limited edition books (a value of $150 or more in each box)! I have several DarkFuse limiteds in my own library, and these books are quite lovely. All I can say is, if you're one of the three winning voters, you're in for a treat. I'll also be kinda jealous...
Now, I present to you, my GoreWars Round Two entry, Sinner. Go check out the entries and be sure to vote for your favorites!

This serialised original includes the following elements: A get rich quick scheme Assuming a false identity Criminals The original is slow and pretty boring for a modern audience, but the creators…

“The Greasy Strangler” Descends into Depravity with the Ease of a Cult Classic
“The Greasy Strangler” Descends into Depravity with the Ease of a Cult Classic
The Greasy Stranglermight be what it feels like to go mad. The film is best described as a kind of John Waters fever dream (or maybe wet dream), that combines a penchant for bizarre sexuality with a tongue-in-cheek slasher film. The acting is purposely hammy, and each kill more absurd than the last. There are sequences that physically made me ill, and others that left me utterly befuddled. You…

I recognize terror as the finest emotion and so I will try to terrorize the reader. But if I find that I cannot terrify, I will try to horrify, and if I find that I cannot horrify, I’ll go for the gross-out. I’m not proud.

Madballs- Oculus Orbus (1985)
One of the forerunners of the “gross-out” trend of the second half of the 1980s, American Greetings’ subsidiary AmToy released a line of baseball-sized creepy characters called Madballs, beginning in 1985. Oculus Orbus was a member of the first wave of 8 Madballs. He resembles a giant sentient eye.
The Madballs were popular enough in the 1980s to have their own comic and video game.
American Greetings still holds the license to the property and you can visit the official site maintained by AGKidZone of American Greetings Corporation at http://madballs.com
