I think its crazy how many people get ticks where they go unnoticed long enough for it to bury and reach your blood. I wanna say it's a full 24 hours before that happens and even then idk how much it takes before this will effect you since even things like limes disease means it needs to be in you for even longer.

Idk about others, but I have had my fair share of ticks, but thankfully, never one go unnoticed long enough that it broke through. People really should check more. Showering is a great time to discover if you may have one on you.

I've been bitten by ticks many times, sometimes at once (from playing with a family friend's dog). They're surprisingly light for such a large creature.

Vegans really should consider weaponising these ticks, like breed billions and fly around cities carpet bombing everything.

No more beef industry overnight

That's a hilarious idea but courts would probably just legalize people owing anti-aircraft weapons.

I love beef and steaks and beef tacos and beef all the things.

But I would support vegans weaponizing this.
