Have you ever had ticks attached to you?

Why refuse? Next time, I'll come up der and remove it. I'm much closer than Randy, eh.

I read that if you don’t pull them out straight and even twist slightly that they vomit inside you. I don’t want the Lyme disease. I’ll check in with you next time I get a tick :)

Not sure about the vomiting but pulling them out incorrectly can result in fragments of the tick left in the wound, and they are likely to turn septic.

That though is not the source of Lyme Disease. If you have been infected that is likely to have happened before you even notice the creature is feeding on you. Its pathogen (a bacterium I think) is transmitted in the mite's saliva.

That makes more sense about the fragments left in your wound. I probably just pictured it as tick vomit when I read it so decided that’s what it was. 

 

  Now you’re pulling your flirting tricks on doctors too? Wow. 

:(

Tree surgeons , heart surgeons …

 

  Wow, you just have them lined up like bowling pins, don’t you? Grrrrrrr. 

:(

Are you trying to give Welby a heart attack?

 

  Calm down, Welby, calm down, just relax,  man! Breathe, just breathe, stay with me here, just inhale slowly, take your time, exhale just as slowly, stay calm, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, that’s it, just breathe, breathe, Welby, stop reaching for the picture, that only makes it worse, focus for me, pay attention, breathe calmly, concentrate, Welby, keep you mind on the moment, it’s just a picture of a bunch of guys, pay attention to what I’m saying, inhale for me and then exhale, try your best to relax . . .

"Fail"

 

  See? I just knew Jaimie was up to something! Grrrrrrr.


(Good song choice. I haven’t heard it since it first came out.)

I was not sure if you had heard it at all....I know you are not a country fan. :)

 

  Lol, generally you’re right, I’m not into country music overall, but there are about a dozen or so selections of it that I really like. The song about ticks is so catchy and fun and funny that it’s definitely included in the mix. Here are some of them:

 

The Ballad of New Orleans

Always on My Mind

Stand By Your Man

Coal Miner’s Daughter

Queen of Hearts

Driving My Life Away

I Love a Rainy Night

This Kiss

Islands in the Stream

Lady

The Gambler

Ticks

(Battle of New Orleans.) I heard it today in my car. Fun song.

OUCH.
