morgennaraene Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I hate ticks I hate ticks I hate ticks!!!!!!!!!!!! So I go for a walk in one of our city parks last night with my cousin and her dog.. I'm home about an hour, on the computer, talking with my Gram and happen to look down at my hand and see what at first I thought was a spider, only it didn't squish when I smacked it.. When I realized what it was, I LOST it!! NASTY, UGLY, CREEPY, ICKY, GROSS!!! Fortunately, a few seconds after I hit it, it started walking down my hand, so I flicked it off, grabbed it with some tweezers and put it in an empty water bottle.. So far it doesn't look like I got bit *crosses fingers*, but I have to save the stupid thing until Monday and then call the county Health Unit and take it in to them.. My skin is STILL crawling!! I... HATE... BUGS.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Ewww I hate them too. My boyfriend has been bit like 3 times by them and he still has a mark from it. He was the unlucky one who got Lyme disease so be grateful you might not have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyvren Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Gross doesn't even begin to cover it! I hate ticks, more than any other bug o: I can't even pick them off of my dog when she gets them, and I get shivers if I happen across one when I pet her :c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haliaetus Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Yuck! Ticks are gross. :/ Luckily I've never had a run in with any on myself or my dog. Bugs are disgusting. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinosawr Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Ticks are nasty. I had a horrible experience with one of them. So I was little, and i was play ing outside with my friends for a few hours. A little while after, my hair started to itch badly. Around half of a tick came off.... on my finger. I was really little then, i started screaming for my mom She couldnt get them out with tweezers or anything, the tick was stuck fast We actually had to go to the hospital to get it out It. Was. Awful. My mom still tells me abt it sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passiflora Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Ticks in July? Yikes! My sister had one earlier this year but that was back in May, during peak season. I hate ticks, I'm sorry you had to go through that but thank goodness it was only crawling on you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many ticks there. haha, wanna hear something worse? Once upon a time, a man with a weave or whatever you call it, went to the hairdressers to have his haircut. As he was getting his hair cut all of a sudden he leapt out of the seat in pain, and ran home screaming. Later that day they found him at home dead. Found out a tarantular was living in his weave and it bit him. All together now *scatches head* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzerbumblebee Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hahaha I'm not even sure if I have ever seen a tick, but -shudder- I hate bugs. I really do. Especially spiders. One of the requirements for my future boyfriend is to get rid of all the bugs for me. Yuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbash Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Ugh I'm sorry! At least it sounds like you got it off you before it did any damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raichi Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Ew x_x reminds me of that one time a spider crawled on my hand as I was on my pc, I screamed and it literally jumped in fear like the cartoons xD and then i spent 20 minutes on the couch crying because of the horrible event... *shiver* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiaroscruo Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Okay, I'm never going outside again. I live in a large city and we have a tiny yard with no trees but my dog still gets a tick occasionally (even with prescription flea/tick preventive) but I make someone else pick them off. Thankfully my mom grew up in the country and picking ticks off is no big deal for her. *shudders* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgennaraene Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 I grew up in a farming community with a river running through the middle of town.. When I was a kid I was either down by the river running in the bush or out in the fields and meadows, rolling around and playing and NEVER EVEN EVER SAW ONE!! In the 37 years I've been alive I never saw one until this past Friday; I was so freaked out by the whole thing I did not manage to sleep until around 3am LAST NIGHT.. They're really bad this year, all the bugs are, but that's partially due to the garbage strike they had going on last summer, made for plentiful breeding which means double trouble this year.. My loathing of bugs is without end; it's like I always say, anything with more than 4 legs and hair is just unnatural..... I'm also very allergic to ANY kind of bug bites, have actually had to go on intravenous antibiotics a few times because of spider bites and have started going into anaphylactic shock due to some kind of bite before too (smacked it and squished it before identifying, reacted after), so now I carry an epi pen.. Yellow Jacket bees are my Kryptonite, I get bit by one of those, I'm in deep trouble; almost swallowed one once when it got into my pop can and I didn't know until it was almost too late, I'd a been dead before the paramedics could get to me, epi pen or not.. I get that we need bugs for pollination and feeding other animals, but why couldn't God make them 'defenceless' :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leigh Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I go deer hunting regularly every year and i get ticks all the time. We have a glass jar full of alcohol to kill them off. You guys and your freaking out... it's cute. :P It's just a part of living in a bug-eat-people world, i guess. I think they're fun to pull off of people. Esp when said person is crying and begging likee a little girl to be free of it. Lol. I'm sorry about your nightmares. That turantula story make my skin itch. I don't do spiders.
