Yeah, I think I'll pass and just try to avoid ticks in the first place. One day I was following a trail through some tall grass, and by the time I got home, I found I had 3 ticks latched into my skin in various places.
After I got them all off, I was sick as a dog and running a gnarly fever for the next week. 🤒
They’re disgusting creatures. Takes a lot for me to hate anything more than mosquitos but at least they have the decency to fuck off once they get you.

Cool, might be especially interesting as we expect more ticks here in the Netherlands following climate change.
