I am losing confidence in his integrity as he does seem to have spent alot of time around the back door..... He was an army man after all, now if he was navy then you would have expected nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagsy Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I discovered one in my bumcrack once after an army exercise. No help to you of course, but a paratrooper armed with the sharp bit of a biro lid soon had me smiling again :look: ZB So, once your fun with the parra had finished, who got the tick out and how? :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Luckily my mrs had a set of fine tweezers I could borrow. She wasn't too pleased about what I was using them for but hey, I've got to do something to annoy here now and again! I tried the cotton and straw trick but the tick was too small. He was flat when I got him off so I assume he hadn't eaten much? I didn't squash him and managed to get his mouth parts out all in one. Cheers for all the great replies. I wondered how many of them would include ideas which I know are bad! :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, if you lot are going to twist the notion of another man poking around my back doors in an attempt to remove a small creature into some kind of gay euphamism I am taking my ball home and you cant play with it anymore.

njc110381 Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 The last time I had a tick it was on my nuts. Why do these creatures pick such disgusting places to feed? I was quite happy that this one was on my leg. At least it was easy enough to reach. I'm going to get a tick puller set next time I pass the vets. They should stock them and I'd rather buy locally.

taz24 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 . In todays politicaly correct society the way to remove ticks is to ask them politly if they would mind moving on. They may refuse to move on, so your next step would be to take legal advise and start procedures within the law. Whilst this is hapening because the tick is established on you he now has legal rights of his own and is entilted to bring family members and recieve payments. If you cause him stress or threaten him with harm you will be contravining his human rights and prosecuted, if proven guilty you will be liable to fines or imprisonment. So for your own safety it would be beter if you only stayed on concreted land only. Do not attempt to go into grass land because that would be deemed as an invertation to visiting ticks. taz .

John_R Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Someone in my more distant family was diagnosed with Lymes something like 12 years after the Tick bite that probably caused it. She remembers getting bitten, and a white-ish circle forming around the bite. I don't know much more, but she has been unwell for all this time and really she has been doing not much more than managing symptoms till now. I have never had one, but I do carry the O Tom and another tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
