:eek: all this talk ot ticks reminded me of one i had on the end of a very personal place,i was supprised that it got all that way and through lots of clothes.i'm getting quite good at getting them out now normaly get 10 or more a year(that i fined).:eek: :eek:

Ouch ouch ouch ouch :yikes: Did you manage to get it's "dart" out with the tick in 1 piece ?

I cannot imagine myself resolving to use a knife/scalpel to help extract that little remaining part off my precious :nono: It's a "no sharp" zone !
 
:eek: yep got it out in one pice not a nice experience. i get quite a lot on me in a year(down side of working in woods) chainsaw leggins get very hot and sweaty in summer just right for um.:eek:
 
Had a sheep tic attached to my leg once it had burrowed its self deep in the old farmer got it out dabbed some sheep dip chemical on it then unscrewed it stung like hell needless to say I was a lot more careful when crawling through under growth
