Insects and Health: Hello little dude

Hello little dude

By Anonymous - 19/05/2012 22:54 - United States

Today, I was about to get in the shower, when I felt an odd itch in my navel. I saw what I thought was bellybutton lint, so I pulled on it, and quickly realized what I had between my fingers was a still-squirming, headless tick. FML

Today, it took a whole half hour of scratching my head before I realized with horror that the weird tickling sensation I'd been feeling was actually a spider crawling around in my hair. FML

Belly bounce

Today, I learned that a innie belly button does not clean itself. I can't begin to describe the horrors I found, after using tweezers to get thirty years worth of "contents" out from inside me. FML

Today, I woke up to a weird feeling on my face. Thinking it was a bug, I slapped at it. It was my freshly-inserted nose ring. FML

A visitor

Today, I had a walk-in: a tiny tick, crawling through my bathroom window, looking down at me in the shower, wondering whether I might be tasty. The window was closed, by the way. FML

Tasty snack

Today, I was laying out in my backyard trying to get some color when I felt a little tickle on my lips. I rubbed them together to satisfy the itch, when I felt a sort of crunchiness popping between them. I had crushed a spider between my lips and its legs were still moving. FML

Today, I was eating a packet of chips while watching TV. I saw a crumb on the table in front of me, so without thinking I picked it up and ate it. It wasn't a crumb. It was a tick. FML

Today, while resting in bed, I felt a slight tickle on my neck. Thinking it was a cockroach, I panicked and flung it across the bedroom. Turns out it was my brand new necklace, which is now broken into dozens of pieces. FML

Today, I noticed a small bite on my arm. I couldn't figure out what it came from until I saw a small insect crawling out of my bra. FML

Today, while making my daily offering of turd to the porcelain throne, I took out my phone and started playing a game. I suddenly felt a tickling sensation on my leg, and I freaked out as I saw hundreds of ants had emerged from behind the toilet. FML

I hope you realize....... The head's still in there somewhere, and it will re-grow its body eventually.

That's just horrific. I can't even find words for how badly I would freak out in a situation like that.

You need to visit the doctors ASAP. You could get tick paralysis or worse, Lyme disease.

Op might if they can't get the head out themselves... But a tick needs to be bitten in at least 24 hours to transmit Lyme or any other tick bourne disease. Unless you develop a bulls eye rash or other signs of a tick illness you don't need treatment for a tick bite

Are you sure it was headless. The heads are hard to see. Also if you just pulled it off with your fingers it was not attached most likey.

Nah I pull them out with my fingers all the time. You don't need tweezers or matches or anything else. Just grab hold and pull- close to the head so it comes with the tick. They aren't that hard to remove. :p

Swimming, hiking, and tent-pitching. They're not biting. I'm not itching. Can't wait to show you all my new tricks. Thanks again for sending me K9 Advantix. :)
