unrelatedly to everything I don't recommend getting bitten by ticks. I recommend even less waking up in the morning only to find three of them already hanging out on you. I recommend EVEN LESS THAN THAT the experience of sitting alone in the middle of your dorm room having to get them out of your Own Skin as quickly and carefully as possible with a pair of tweezers .

And god forbid you just took a vector-borne disease class the semester before this event happened so now all the possible diseases a tick can transmit are just fresh in ur brain . and of course this is your first time getting bitten by ticks

#I mean AGAIN none of them could've been latched onto me for longer than 24 hours . Nor were any of them swollen to suggest #they'd even had a proper blood meal yet. So like. I SHOULD be fine.#But seeing that one of them was indeed a lone star tick I'm just looking at the slimmest possibility of getting that acquired meat allergy #and gritting my teeth in anguish at the thought #but at the SAME TIME. Like. It would be a little funny. LIKE NO IT WOULDN'T but it'd be like. Ironic. given what I am studying dhgKJSDH #This probably needs tagging so people aren't like. Jumpscared by gross tick talk.#parasites #tw bug #tw ticks #ask to tag #sorry for complaining about getting ganged up on by ticks on your dash. Unfortunately ever since this experience I've been compulsively #checking myself for ticks every few minutes. So like. I'm having a great time #clamtalk #bugposting
