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

New, from Goop
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.

What the ****, you never use fire dumbass. that irritates the tick and makes it regurgitate the blood which can give you lime disease. ******* idiots

If you can get onto the internet to complain about it surely you can also use the internet to find a better way to remove it? :/ Thats a pretty unlucky thing to have happen though. Hope it goes well.

No, "nowhere". You wouldn't say of something unexpected "Wow, that came out of anywhere!" would you? If you're going to correct someone, try to know what you're talking about first.

vaseline baby ( yea i meant with a "v") works every time, and wont burn your cornea.... fyi; if a man comes to your door, offering free tick searching services. DO NOT take off all of your clothes and jump up and down. Although he sounds legit, he isnt :0 Sadly I didnt get this message till afterwards....

you know, you could just pull it off. or cut down your eyelashes until he either falls off or is more visible and easier to pull off
