Today, I woke up to find a tick stuck to my eyelashes. The only way I know of to get it off is with fire. FML

Ticked off
Today, I woke up to a pain on my eyelid. I stumbled into the bathroom to find a huge tick attached to the edge of my eyelid. My dad used tweezers to pull it off, only the head stuck. I had to go to the doctor and sit there for 15 minutes so she could pull the rest out. FML

Today, after a nap, I went to scratch my eye and felt what I presumed to be a clump of mascara on my eyelash. I didn't wear mascara today. It was a tick. FML

Where did you come from?
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, I was at a fire roasting marshmallows. When mine caught on fire, I pulled it back so I could blow out the flames. It flew off the stick, and, still flaming, landed on my face. FML

Yucky!
Today, I picked my dog up and nibbled her ear. On the tip of her ear was a large tick, which burst, sending blood into my mouth. 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

Today, I was camping out under the stars on my trampoline. I was just about asleep when I felt a tickle on my arm. Figuring it was an ant, I brushed it off. The rest of the red ants crawling up my arm didn't like that. FML

Today, I woke up to my cat slowly dragging her paw across my face. I opened my eyes to see a bloody mouse dangling an inch from my face. It was still twitching. FML

Today, I woke up with a burning sensation on my butt. Remembering that yesterday I was bit by a fire ant, I decided to reinspect the bite. I found ten more which itch and burn. My parents' new nickname for me is "Firebutt". FML

Fire is how you kill them. You can get them off with tweezers. Just make sure you don't leave ANY part of the tick inside of your skin or on your eyelash or whatever.

use the Internet to look up how to remove a tick instead of posting about how you don't

On the eyelashes? I would have trimmed my eyelashes. But I think you mean that the tick was on your eyelid. Yep, tweezers would have to do the trick.

Nail polish remover should work fine, and you don't have to put it anywhere but the tick. They have to breathe, and most bugs do it through their skin, so if you apply anything that forms a seal (petroleum jelly is good, too) it'll pull its head out and drop off to survive. DON'T go straight to tweezers; if you wanna burn your eyelashes off use fire to kill it THEN tweezers, and even then you still might break the head off (but if it's still alive you get infected by a buried LIVE head instead of a dead one.) Best thing's to make it let go on its own and it'll drop off, then you can kill it or do whatever you want.

You deserve it for being a moron. Fire is NOT how you remove ticks.

Light a match, blow it out and then press it on the tick, or take dish soap and douse it and it will come off by itself.

Really? Are you that stupid? You rather light your face on fire than using your brain and think of PULLING it out??!??
