Inner thigh, like right next to my jewels, so it could have been worse <_<

Spent the last half hour checking the dog, and didn't find any on her. So hopefully I didn't miss any and it was just the one.

I once found a tick on my ball sack, right before it started digging in. I was terrified for months...I thought I was going to lose the ability to have children :/

you get zits from pores being clogged due to lack of proper hygiene

so congrats for washing your balls better?

I've found 2 ticks on me in my lifetime. One of the back of my neck and another at that top of my pubic hair.

Gross little fuckers.

Well, I was quite the adventurer at the time... >_>

idk, ticks are a much bigger deal here than other parts of the country since it's ground zero for Lyme Disease.

When I lived in other places, a tick was annoying but it wasn't really a big deal. Here, almost everybody knows at least one person who had pretty severe problems with Lyme Disease. It's some scary shit.

Oh yeah, this topic fucking jinxed me since I wound up with a tick bite yesterday. Now my adventuring days are REALLY over. Fewer pills this time, though.

Also I played this one cautiously *because* the last one showed the signs of Lyme Disease after I removed the tick (although I *should* have caught that one early enough that it wouldn't transmit the disease)

I popped them and was like huh that was weird

I had a tick on my corona once. Guess you could say I fucked the bastard.

I live in one of the black parts of that map. For the past year, the Cary Institute has been using mine and my neighbor's property to do tests and monitoring of ticks. They're experimenting a spray with some sort of fungal origin.

While I detest Vox, I stumbled on and am reading one of their articles coincidentally posted today concerning Lyme Disease vaccination (and why this isn't a thing)

Zeus I think they make special collars that can repel ticks

I live in MA and get ticks on me all the time.
It's like a common thing here.
I haven't died yet.

If they sold them for humans, I'd take it hiking.

Your state is at a far lower risk than me. Check the map.

It's literally completely black on your little map... with the exception of right below VT NH borders.

My friend got a tick on his balls and brought it up as a joke when we were hanging out. I told him that shit was serious and he should go to the doctor because he might have Lyme disease.

He went to the doctor and he had Lyme disease. He couldn't drink beer for a few months because of the medication.

One time I found a growth down there. I was freaking out. It was a weird shape and what not.

My wife inspected it and popped it. It was a zit.

why do you find it ok to discuss these things online

Well, you're next to the blackest state in the country... and that would be my state, where the black radiates outward and consumes the surrounding states. Keep in mind that the disease is named for one of our towns. Not one part of our state is pink; in fact, there's no color except the darkest black. And is it scary living in the epicenter of an epidemic? Sometimes.
