Today, I realized that the "pimples" on my back weren't pimples at all. Because I was unable to see how bad they were for the last week, I never caught on to the fact the they were, in fact, ticks. FML

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

Today, I found a bug in my bra. Not a huge deal, so I flicked him out. Turns out he was a black blister beetle. I woke to at 3 a.m. to insane pain, as well as the water blisters all over my boobs. FML

Today, I learned that not only do wood ticks have a habit of dropping off of branches onto you as you walk under them, they also like to hang out in groups of five or six. FML

Today, I went to the Doctor's for a mole my husband had said was, "growing and changing color". It turned out to be a wood tick. My husband knew, but said it was too "icky" to take off himself. FML

Where does it say op found this on the ground?

Well where else would he have gotten it? I really doubt a tick fell right in his pocket or something

Or, you know, OP could have had a bag of jelly beans. I guess you think that's too much of a coincidence.

I'm sorry, but black Jellybeans are the best ever, I always pick out the black ones and eat them first.

no one said that he found it off the ground

Yeah but do you really see a blood filled tick in any acceptable placement? Was it in a bowl of other jellybeans? Was it gracefully garnishing a desert plate? Was it hiding in a package of milkduds waiting for an unsuspecting victim?

Definitely! Ticks can carry many different diseases and you could get pretty sick from it. Time to take a trip to the doctor asap.

You don't get Lyme disease from every tick bite/ingestion. Just keep an eye out for symptoms like fever, rigors, tiredness, night sweats, headache - THEN run to the doctors asap! Hope you'll be okay, OP.

What the hell? I'm assuming you were like in the woods or some shit if the tick was full of blood. Why would you see something big and black in that setting and think it's a jelly bean?? And then actually proceed to eat it?? YDI man
nevaeh_dewdrop 12
She didn't say she picked it up off the ground it could have somhow gotton within her stash of jelly beans

The point still stands - in what setting could you possible find a blood filled deer tick along with jellybeans? The only reasonable explanation I can think of is that they were hiking and eating jellybeans, when they dropped the bag, and instead of ignoring the beans that had touched the forest floor they decided to pick those up as well. If you can think of any other reasonable explanation to find the two together then please share.

what if she had one on her hand that got its fill and let go into a bag of jelly beans she was eating? people who arent regularly around ticks dont go checking themselves for them often.
