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

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

That's disgusting

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

How is this an fml? Tick checks are daily routine here in the South. Really not even that disgusting.

Oh goody. I sadly never thought of the navel just cause I've always have it covered... That's disgusting. :(

Oh, hey... It's tick season, FYI. :/

Everyone just checked their belly button.

it layed eggs and there gonna grow inside you now! :O/

Oh god that's terrible! Fyl op!

since we're talking about animals that can or cannot regrow body parts, id like to take this opportunity to reassure all the worriers out there that if you chop a worm in half, it doesnt regrow into 2 new worms, it dies. OP, get to the doctor/hospital to get it removed because i can imagine not removing the head properly can lead to nasty infections

Wtf!! You need to go the hospital and have that looked at. You do not want to get lime disease. They carry a lot of bacteria and viruses. Yikes, this creeped me out. How in the heck did it get there..?

Belly button? No so bad. A few years ago my neighbour found a tick located on the inner labia. Her husband unsuccesfully tired to remove it. She had to see her doctor.

hahaha what the fucccck thats so gross!

It is estimated a human will have 3 parasitic instances 3 times in your life, but they is internal, like worms. Ticks that is like every 5 years.
